From the Configuration cog, click "Manage People"
Find the Stakeholder, click on the menu on the right-hand side and click 'Convert Employee Account to Stakeholder' (or 'Convert Stakeholder Account to Employee' if they are already a stakeholder)
In the confirmation dialog, specify the date of the changeover, and confirm.
