1. Standardize procedures
Procedures describe what happens in your business, how, when, and by whom. An idea that everyone can do everything when it’s necessary might work on a small scale, but not with a growing team. Standardizing processes sets clear rules and expectations for everyday tasks, but also crisis situations, creating an atmosphere of common understanding and security.
Guide to procedure book:
- To make the process easier start with everyday tasks, then possible future and crisis situations;
