In this case study, Murray Dare explains how his team redesigned a content production workflow to make content uploads faster, clearer, and easier to repeat without weakening review or approval.
Murray’s team reports cutting content-upload delivery time by 50% and calculating a 35% increase in weekly productivity. The method separates writing from uploading, gives each handoff an owner, and turns the delivery sequence into a controlled workflow.

“What is employee engagement?“
I’d been explaining the ins-and-outs of my job to my family for a while but here I had to stop to give more detail. That’s when it hit me.
To most people, employee engagement is jargon.
They see it as an airy concept that doesn’t have a solid definition – it’s something that marketers point at to sell products and nothing more.
The reality couldn’t be further from that.
Employee engagement is a vital statistic to show the overall health of a business at every level. If you can better this statistic, it can result in massive benefits such as a 67% lower employee turnover rate and 21% higher productivity.
In this Process Street post, I’m taking you through what employee engagement is, how to measure it, and what you can do about it to get those lower employee turnover and higher productivity levels.
Let’s go!

Hiring surges are painful. We can agree on that, right?
Fewer candidates for more positions. Who likes that?
What it means for you is your HR processes must be good. If we’re being honest, they need to be brilliant.
You need to work hard to improve, refine, and trim your HR processes.
What if you could discover a shortcut and stop duplicating work, maybe even eliminate manual tasks in your HR process?
That would be sweet. It would also mean more hours per day. Time better spent elsewhere. Maybe on the fun stuff, like increasing engagement with new hires. We promise that you can:

69% of Millennials would rather make $50k a year at a job they love than $75k a year in a boring job.

So how do you make sure that you provide a role that both addresses the needs of your employee and aligns with company goals?

Personal user manuals are indispensable tools when it comes to working with new employees and perfecting your new employee onboarding process.
They are written guides that explain to others how best to work with you. They can either be targeted towards people working under you or people working with you.
Personal user manuals are full of information for other employees. They promote team collaboration by making others aware of your personal working style, and allowing them to work best with this.
They’re simple to write and maintain, and their purpose is to help you avoid giving multiple inductions to various new employees.
Having a written document is also useful as it’s information that your employees can come back to time and again—as opposed to a spoken induction when things can be easily forgotten.
If you’re working in a team that extends across multiple countries, there’s no need to plan multiple inductions to fit into everyone’s schedule. A personal user manual can be used instead, saving time, and allowing effective collaboration regardless of different time zones.
You may well be wondering: How on Earth do I get started with such an undertaking? Well, here are some steps you can take to create and maintain a solid personal user manual.
This post for Process Street will outline the 10 focus areas to include in your personal user manual:

The larger an organization gets, the more complex it is. More people pulling in different directions creates bottlenecks and slows down an organization’s productivity.
Ideally, human resource departments should be the ones that keep everyone working toward the same goals. Unfortunately, for many companies, HR isn’t working.

That’s why, in this Process Street article, we’re going to take this problem seriously and look at:
