Mentoring new employees can be tricky.

Think back to a time when you stepped into unfamiliar territory. Can you remember how intimidating it was? That’s the dilemma each new employee faces. 

They need to acclimatize to a new culture, a new team, a new role, and new responsibilities. It’s daunting having to walk into an environment where everyone except you knows what they’re doing. 

Mentors are responsible for offering a support base for the new hire to get settled in their role quicker. These mentors use their past experiences to offer sound guidance, helping build the new employee’s confidence and skills from the get-go. 

Mentoring new employees happens during onboarding, but how can you make the most of it? In this Process Street post, I’m taking you through the mentoring program and how it can be your secret weapon to reduce new hire churn.

Process Street was born from the collaboration between two backpackers who crossed paths in Buenos Aires. While both of them contributed to its success, Vinay Patankar, the CEO, has always been in the public eye. Whereas, Cameron McKay, the other half of the dynamic duo, has remained behind the scenes, truly known only to those who work closely with him. 

Fortunately, Process Street’s Employee Spotlight series has given us the opportunity to showcase Cameron’s remarkable talents. Cameron’s story is one that inspires and motivates. He is a highly skilled and dedicated individual who works tirelessly to ensure that Process Street remains at the forefront of its industry. His contributions to the company are immeasurable, and his work ethic is second to none.

Despite his achievements, Cameron remains humble and focused on the task at hand. He is always looking for ways to improve himself and his team. His passion for technology and innovation is contagious, and it is clear that he truly cares about the success of Process Street and its employees.

Cameron McKay is a talented individual who has played an undeniably vital role in the success of Process Street. His story is one that deserves to be shared and celebrated. So, here it is from the horse’s mouth.

SOC 2 has a reputation for being difficult and complex. You could argue that this is by design, since you need help from a small group of top-notch, pricey experts to be compliant. 

A kinder view is that it’s just how info security operates (there’s no one-size-fits-all fix). 

To set up the right protections, a company has to either create them according to the risks they face, or narrow down a huge list of possible controls, again, considering the risks. 

In a nutshell, SOC 2 goes with the first option: it sets broad criteria and lets each organization come up with controls to meet those criteria, based on their unique risks. Sounds reasonable, but it’s not exactly a walk in the park for those who aren’t experts.

That’s where both workflow automation and compliance automation software can come in handy.  

In this post I’ll introduce you to Drata and Process Street, two essential tools that, when used together, provide a complete solution to help you speed up and simplify your yearly SOC 2 compliance.

The definition of economic doom: Recession. 

It’s every homeowner, parent, investor, business owner, and employee’s greatest fear. Especially when you look at the lasting effects previous recessions have had on the economy. 

Recently, there’s been much speculation about whether or not another recession will be creeping into the economy soon, and how this one will pan out. And with speculation comes rising anxiety around the topic. Mass layouts. Sky-high inflation. Lower profit margins. It’s understandable why people might fear another recession. 

But is a recession really as bad as it seems? 

To answer this question, I’ve put together some of the recession myths and misconceptions still floating around today and debunked them for you. Take a look:

If your processes are designed and run properly, you likely shouldn’t have any delays. 

But what if the great processes that you’ve constructed to the nines are still delivering delayed outputs? Did you miss something? Is the process simply not good enough? 

NO. 

If your processes are good, there could be another reason for delays. The answer: Bottlenecks. 

Think of your processes as a sunny day at the beach. You’ve come prepared with sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, snacks, an umbrella, and tons of water. But in the middle of your beach day, you run out of the water screaming with a jellyfish attached to your leg. 

The jellyfish is the bottleneck, and trust me, it stings just as bad for your business when one of those babies wraps itself around your company processes. 

The only difference is you can’t plan for the jellyfish. You can plan for bottlenecks with an effective process management strategy. 

Here’s how: 

• What is a bottleneck? 
• Signs you have a bottleneck
• Types of bottlenecks 
• How to identify bottlenecks in a process
• How software tools can help with bottleneck management

Employee psychology is important.

Why?

Long story short: When employees are engaged, they’re more productive (and so is your organization). 

An engaged workforce is the best foundation for a successful company but little attention is given to what drives that engagement. That’s possibly why 85% of employees aren’t engaged in the workplace. 

A greater understanding of employee psychology will help you hack employee behavior and get your workforce more engaged.
