Boost Your Productivity through Workflow Automation

Boost Your Productivity through Workflow Automation 1

For businesses large and small, defining processes and ensuring everyone follows them is daunting, if not impossible. Documenting processes is simply no guarantee that employees will follow each step. Compounding the problem, many organizations’ processes exist outside their accounting and operational software systems.

What’s missing is a systemized approach that creates accountability between each department and ensures no important steps in your business’ processes fall through the cracks.

The answer is workflow automation.

Workflow Automation Is About RepeatabilityWorkflow automation systems allow you to define your hundreds of unique workflows and ensure they are performed the same way, every time.

Consider all the projects your staff complete each day that revolve around your network. Nearly any task that requires some form of repeatability can be automated. Examples include:

• Interviewing, Hiring and Onboarding

• Vendor Contract Review and Approval

• Expense Review and Reimbursement

• Request for Pre-Sales Engineering Assistance

• Employee Review

• Requisition Submission and Approval

• Travel Approval Request

• Product Development

• Quality Assurance Since workflow automation creates repeatability, it’s impossible for tasks to be forgotten, which results in dramatic error reductions, increased productivity and cost savings for the organization.

Workflow Automation Creates VisibilityWith a workflow automation system in place, all your processes are visible and measurable, which means you can easily see the bottlenecks in your organization. This allows you to add or remove resources based on quantifiable information. It also allows you to capture and analyze why things are happening.

Increased visibility means every employee knows what is expected of them and are held accountable for their actions. If your staff doesn’t complete tasks on time, someone will receive a notification, which means managers won’t have to micromanage their employees and ask questions, and staff won’t have to spend their time responding to status requests. While this might seem like more of a plus for management, trackable results are also a benefit to employees because they know the system records their activities and they can withstand an “audit.” Another benefit of increased visibility for both management and employees is that it improves internal communication, which increases job satisfaction and reduces employee turnover.
