"If you can't describe what you are doing as a process, you don't know what you're doing."
~ W. Edward Deming
Not only do you have to what you are doing, those working with you have to know too. Laying out the expectations, the processes, the goals and the plans get your great ideas out of your head and on paper so you can share them with people who need the information in order to help you boost your business!
*Policies, procedures and training ensure that all members in an organization understand the mission, objectives and goals of an organization as well as the means of achieving success.
Policies should not be written in stone, but should clearly convey operational processes, expectations and responsibilities. A personnel policy is essential to an effective human resource program. A personnel policy provides an explanation of company objectives, employee benefits and expectations. A well-written policy that is consistently followed can protect a company from unjustified legal actions and unemployment claims.
Service policies inform employees and customers about company processes such as sales, shipping/delivery, processing, warranties, returns, repairs, et cetera. Functional service policies clearly convey business practices, responsibilities and limitations and have the ability to prevent misunderstandings.
Procedures define how tasks are accomplished. Procedure manuals can be general, encompassing all areas of the business, or they can be specific such as "how-to" manuals covering a specific task or computer application.
Training is the key to a thriving workforce. Training manuals provide employees with valuable information and a resource that they can revisit for refreshment. Employee orientations; familiarization with policies and procedures; and learning of technical competencies lead to full-development of a competent staff and the ultimate success of the business or venture.
