The Value of a Standard Operating Procedure
Is your office running smoothly?
Do new employees know your office procedures?
Do current employees follow procedures?
If your answer falls short of “yes” to any of the above questions, you will need to update your Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). A business should review an SOP annually. This document should explain your office procedures in detail, step by step and to the point. This will enhance employee efficiency while providing your company with an effective organizational and training tool.
Once an SOP is written, make sure that it is readily available for reference or training purposes. Filing an SOP away and out of sight is out of the question.
A great guide for writing an SOP can be found at Work.com. If you need assistance, please feel free to contact CMJ Office.
