Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When someone's walking through your door
First day jitters, what's in store
Without a plan they're lost at sea
That's where structure sets them free
Tax forms waiting, benefits too
Equipment ready, access grew
Every hire gets the same
Consistent process, that's the game

[Chorus]
In and out, the flow must go
Onboard high, offboard slow
Knowledge stays when people leave
Systems work so we achieve
In and out, protect the core
Every entrance, every door
HR builds the bridge between
Keeping operations clean

[Verse 2]
Sarah joins the marketing team
While Tom's in tech, living the dream
Different roles but same first day
Structured path shows them the way
Forms are filed and boxes checked
Benefits enrolled, nothing wrecked
Credentials flow to the right place
Welcome to your working space

[Chorus]
In and out, the flow must go
Onboard high, offboard slow
Knowledge stays when people leave
Systems work so we achieve
In and out, protect the core
Every entrance, every door
HR builds the bridge between
Keeping operations clean

[Bridge]
But what goes up must come down
When it's time to leave this town
Transfer knowledge, share the keys
Revoke access, if you please
Exit interview, final pay
Smooth transition leads the way
Institutional memory saved
Security gaps? They've been waived

[Verse 3]
Unglamorous but critical work
Without it, chaos tends to lurk
Hemorrhaging what people knew
Leaving holes for threats to get through
Every ending planned with care
Every beginning, systems there
The lifecycle from start to end
On HR processes we depend

[Final Chorus]
In and out, the flow must go
Onboard high, offboard slow
Knowledge stays when people leave
Systems work so we achieve
In and out, protect the core
Every entrance, every door
HR builds the bridge between
Keeping operations clean

[Outro]
Structure saves the company
Onboard, offboard, systematically
