STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES (SOPs)

Why SOPs?

When you have plans for expansion or government contracts, or even when you don’t want to keep reinventing the wheel every time you onboard, Standard Operating Procedures are not optional.

Standard operating procedures (SOPs) are step-by-step instructions that act as guidelines for employee work processes. Whether written up in numbered steps or formatted as flow charts, effective SOPs are complete, clearly written, and based on input from the people who do the job. When employees follow the SOP for a particular task, their output is consistent and predictable

When your goal is to produce the same product over the long term and increase productivity, the implementation of SOPs can have many benefits. (Quickbooks.Intuit.com)
