What is the key to employee productivity? It requires removing obstacles, such as a lack of process support, or having to work with multiple systems to complete one task. Employees should be empowered with the knowledge they need to make a difference in the business while increasing productivity.
The first step to optimization is to map out the processes required in order to get a complete overview of what is happening in the organization. This is often seen as a tedious task. But process documentation can actually be fun, collaborative, and even kick off optimization. Take a look at the IBM approach to process documentation and mapping in this video:
