Sounds like another good policy for stations to have. It could be bundled
with Personnel policies. Write down passwords (in a secure place), what does
a person in each position do? Stuff like that.

Excerpt: It can be onerous to think about a strategy for times that staff
leave or retire. However, preparation for such inevitabilities is not only
smart thinking, but compassionate. What station wants to suffer through
problems that could be avoided with minimal effort?When I resigned my post
at a community radio station for my current job, I was rather perplexed how
my manager asked so few questions about my work; did not even seek out the
most fundamental things, like passwords to mission critical accounts; or
conduct an exit interview. As calls poured in weeks after my farewell, it
was evident the organization had not made arrangements to retain any of the
knowledge they needed, and leadership was not even aware of what I knew. It
was a good example of what not to do for any community radio station wanting
to conduct a smooth transition.
