Empowering Workers and Increasing Effectiveness

So What is the Problem?

Companies don’t often have chronic hardware problems – those are easy to spot and remove or repair.

Chances are, the people are talented and can do the jobs you are giving them.

So where is the disconnect? Why won’t people stay engaged with the work their doing? Once trust has been built and the interpersonal communication aspects of strong employee relationships are mastered, it’s time to move on to how work is being done in the office itself.

Busy work is the bane of talented and highly engaged employees. Eliminating busy work by going electronic with forms and documents as well as automating routing and enhancing digital security is one of the easiest and most effective ways dollar-for-dollar to increase employee effec­tiveness.

Process Automation and the Benefits

When selecting a solution for your organisation, look for one that offers a proven and quick return-on-investment. Mature solutions are known to deliver an ROI in as little as 6 to 9 months. This can be realised in a number of ways including a fast implementation, smooth integration with other business applications and more –these will be dis­cussed later in this paper.

When evaluating solutions, consider both the direct sav­ings– such as reduced resources and hardware costs–and the “soft dollar” benefits. By increasing productivity from 50% to 500%, organisations can enjoy significant savings by redirecting valuable resources to other critical areas of the business.

“Business and human endeavours are sys­tems… we tend to focus on snapshots of iso­lated parts of the system, and then wonder why our deepest problems never get solved.”
