Transition Staffing Clause Samples
The Transition Staffing clause defines the requirements and procedures for providing personnel during a transition period, such as when services are being transferred from one provider to another. It typically outlines the obligations of the outgoing and incoming parties to ensure that qualified staff are available to maintain continuity of operations, including timelines for staff transfer, training, or knowledge handover. This clause is essential for minimizing disruptions and ensuring a smooth transition by clearly allocating responsibilities related to staffing during the changeover process.
Transition Staffing. To staff the Transition team, the Service Provider will use a blend of existing experienced Service Provider employees as well as hire new experienced employees.

The Service Provider will accomplish this by staffing individuals from the steady state team during Phase I to work Transition. This will ensure continuation of the knowledge from Transition. Upon Commencement, these resources will transfer to the steady state team and remain on the account with the knowledge they’ve acquired from the Phase I Transition. The resources who continue to work on Transition during Phase II will be separate from the steady state team.
