Introduction

As Administrator/HR at Brooks Law Group, Laura Johnson was not new to business processes. The firm had quite a number of processes for rendering their services to injured and disabled people. But these processes were manually managed, and there was only so much they could do with them. Employees were not able to work independently without guidance. This dependency hindered efficiency, causing operational setbacks in the organization. Switching to SweetProcess simplified their systems and allowed for better workflow. She shares details of how the system made their organization more efficient. First, let us take a look at the company’s profile.

Acknowledging Room for Improvement

Business processes are meant to guide employees through tasks. When these processes are in place and employees ditch them, preferring to get guidance from people instead, there is a problem. There is a chance that the processes are ineffective. Laura experienced this firsthand.

“Employees were more dependent on me, even though it was on the server. They would have access to processes, but they would still lean more heavily toward me concerning questions and directives in some things,” she laments.

What happened if Laura was not available? Employees would either be idle or make mistakes in trying to get things done. In the end, the organization suffered the consequences of their inaction or mistakes. This is not good for business because anyone can be indisposed at any time by unforeseen circumstances. It is important to keep the business train moving in the absence of any one employee.
