Three Steps to Take Today to Avert Disaster Tomorrow

Your best insurance policy for the loss of key employees is to document their jobs as thoroughly as possible. This can be done in three steps.

Make a list of the regular tasks that each employee does. A flowchart diagram is the most effective and efficient way to do this.
For each regular task, carefully document the steps that must be performed. A flowchart is ideal for showing the different steps that occur as the result of an action or decision. Anyone can easily follow the steps as they occur in an orderly, logical progression.
Make the information easily accessible to other employees. This makes it much easier to train people in backup roles or to onboard new hires.
