Business process management (BPM for short) gets a bad rap. Some consider it industry jargon, others an ineffective management hack, and almost all see it as boring.

However, there is no better way to increase efficiency and consistency in your business than by documenting, managing, measuring, and improving your processes effectively.

Only 12% of employees say their organization does a great job with employee onboarding. The first emails a new hire receives set the tone for their entire experience, and most companies get them wrong: too long, too generic, or too late.

The right onboarding email templates save time and make new hires feel welcome from day one. At Process Street, we’ve built ten ready-to-use templates that take HR managers from pre-boarding through onboarding and into a 90-day check-in.

Professional building an SOP template in a workflow interface with numbered steps for Purpose, Scope, and Procedure

An SOP template is a reusable document that standardizes how a procedure is written, followed, and enforced. Instead of starting from scratch every time, you build the template once and run it for every new instance of the process.

Creating SOP templates that actually get followed requires more than a blank document. You need clear structure, defined steps, assigned owners, and a system that enforces execution. This guide walks through the process step by step, from defining the procedure to building a template your team will use consistently.

17 Best Gmail Extensions that Make Email Super Easy

Header image: Best Gmail Extensions

The best Gmail extensions in 2026 are not the ones that pile novelty into your inbox. Gmail already handles more drafting, scheduling, and search natively than it used to. The extensions that still matter are the ones that close the workflow gaps Gmail still handles badly: CRM context, task capture, follow-up, shared inbox routing, outbound volume, encryption, and focus. If you are trying to improve day-to-day inbox performance first, this pairs well with a broader email productivity system. The goal is to make email super easy again without turning your inbox into a pile of disconnected tools.

That matters because Gmail is still where a lot of operational work starts. Leads arrive there. Approvals get requested there. Customers reply there. Handoffs get buried there. If you only optimize the message layer, you still end up doing manual follow-up and status chasing. That is where a workflow system like Process Street becomes useful: extensions can improve the inbox, but repeatable work still needs a system that can assign owners, enforce approvals, and prove what happened.

How a Checklist Saved Boeing from Bankruptcy and Helped Win World War II

On a foggy morning at Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio on October 30, 1935, a flight competition was held for the top airplane manufacturers to win a tender from the U.S. Army Air Corps for the next-generation long-range bomber.

Boeing Corporation’s Model 299, a cutting edge aluminum-alloy plane that could fly faster, farther and carry five times as many bombs as the army had requested, was sure-fire to win. Nicknamed the “flying fortress”, historians stated this competition was held as a mere formality, with Boeing almost guaranteed to secure an order of at least sixty-five aircraft.
