These problems cost real money. But see this a different way. Is there better things you could do with the time you save?

• Training. Repeatedly explaining a standard procedure to a new or existing employee.
• Busywork. Chasing coworkers or clients for approvals. Saying "it's your turn" on a handover.
• Backtracking. Getting the full story of a problem (from scratch) before it can be solved.
• Lack of clarity. Doing back-and-forth emails and chats due to vague and unstructured tasking.
• Missing information. Sending forms back and forth due to problems or missing info.
• Annoyed clients. Dropping the ball with clients due to uncertainty about workflow status.

In case you're wondering - studies show that on average, busywork takes up 2 hours per person, per day (contact us for references). Now consider this - the stresses above also annoy people and kills creativity. It also builds toxic work culture and causes people to disengage from work and eventually - leave their jobs. Leavers might tell potential new hires that your company is a disorganized mess. Saving time on busywork is not just about money, it's about your survival - and happy employees.
