SOP

You may think standard operating procedures are only necessary for larger companies, but any business can benefit from standardizing the way things are done. Standard operation procedures help to ensure consistency in your company’s performance and can make it easier to train new hires. They also standardize all of the tasks that need to be performed in your business, making your employees more efficient. The key is getting everyone on board with the standard operating procedures you come up with.

The key to creating efficient business systems is knowing precisely what you do in your business and the steps that go with it. Too often, we keep our processes on a mental level which results in inconsistency and lack of productivity; however, writing each step down allows for organization as well as increased efficiency by making sure everything has been thought out beforehand.
