Who is going to take care of this now? Companies without documented procedures ask this question and oftentimes shutter at the response they get, “There’s no one here that knows how to do this anymore.” This scenario happens more often than you think. An employee layoff, resignation, or untimely death can send companies reeling when they find out there is no one that knows how to do the tasks of a person who has left the company. Companies who have documented processes are prepared when a valued employee exits the company. Documented processes, when done correctly, make for an easy transition for the person who will be taking on these tasks.
Three Benefits of Policy and Procedure Documentation:
- They are good tools for use during times of economic struggle to see which processes can be merged, discarded, or improved upon for productivity or reduction.
- Companies who have documented processes tend to recover faster after catastrophic events, particularly if kept in a safe location offsite.
- Having them in place protects corporate assets in the event of a lawsuit, especially in instances of compliance inquiries.
