Does Your Business Suffer from Disorganitis?

We’re human, and we don’t see or do things the same way every time. Our mind may be thinking about numerous things, or something major, and overlook something “small” that turns out to be important.

Imagine your next business trip, and how the airline pilot might be focusing on the weather or passengers and miss a small light alerting him his landing gear isn’t down. Thankfully, airline pilots use detailed checklists that keep you and me safe from such mishaps!

• The Daily Routine Checklist is like the job description, developed into a detailed checklist of duties in the order a person performs them, from the time they arrive at work until they leave. Such checklists should be prominently located for easy use, either on employees’ desks or on clipboards by their workstations.

In this document, you—the owner or manager—also have for your reference a list of everything each employee does. Daily Routine Checklists are your eyes to see every task and duty performed in your organization, from taking mail to the post office to mopping the floors. These checklists, followed correctly, one step at a time, stop errors from being repeated and virtually eliminate procrastination and chaos.

Did I mention…Great systems work!
