Summary: So many small companies and even large ones fail to create systems and processes for every job and this is a costly mistake, in my opinion. It does take time up front but saves a lot of time in the long run. If you have team members who are on vacation, get sick, or quit or get terminated, you have to start all over with training a new person. If there are procedures manuals with all the systems and processes for that job, you spend little to no time training the new person. This alone will save you an enormous amount of time, and a lot of aggravation. The procedures manual should have everything documented so that if a monkey can read and type, a monkey could do the job without knowing anything about the industry or the job. It should be very specific so that nobody has to ask any questions and can perform the job as you would like it done. Many organizations don’t invest the time and energy in to creating these and pay time and time again for not doing it. My advice is to have everyone in your organization, create a certain number of processes for their job each week (say 1-2) until everything is documented.
