## TL;DR
BYOD enrollment gives the company management over the work profile only, not the whole personal phone. Helpdesk should explain what the company can and cannot see, what happens at offboarding, and get the employee's informed consent before enrolling.

## The query
```text
byod enrollment: what helpdesk should tell employees
```

## Use this when
- employee asks to use a personal phone for work
- writing the BYOD one-pager for the intranet
- offboarding a BYOD user without drama

## Not for
- the MDM technical setup (separate runbook)
- forcing BYOD where policy forbids it
- company-owned devices (different enrollment)

## Steps
1. Explain what enrollment does: manages the work profile and work apps, not personal photos or messages. Expected output: the employee understands the boundary
2. Explain what the company can see: work app inventory and compliance state, not personal content. Expected output: expectations set honestly
3. Walk through the enrollment steps on their device. Expected output: work profile enrolled
4. Explain offboarding: the work profile is wiped, the personal side untouched. Expected output: the exit path understood up front
5. Point them to the written BYOD policy and record their acknowledgment. Expected output: consent documented
6. Offer the company-owned alternative for anyone uncomfortable. Expected output: nobody feels coerced
