At Process Street, we’re proud to rock process management. So much so, we try to encourage a culture of continuous improvement across all of our internal teams & processes.

It’s even in our name. 

So how is it that our content team ended up using a process that was in pretty dire need of a redesign? 

And not just any process, mind you – the process of processes. The process we live and breathe by. The process that defines everything we do – including this very post. The one process to rule us all.

That’s right: Our blog production process was broken. 

We knew it, too. That was the worst part. The entire team was painfully aware of exactly how broken and inefficient the blog production process (BPP) had gotten. 

But you know how it is. Redesigning the blog production process became that thing that’s always on tomorrow’s to-do list.

By the time we finally found the capacity to tackle the process redesign project, there were more exceptions to the process than rules – which is not a good process management system at all. 

So the question became: How do we redesign a process that is constantly in use without breaking everything?

This is how we did it.

• Challenge: Our most essential process… broke
• Solution: Reengineer the process… But when?
• Results: A process that works; a team that’s productive
• Future: Continuous assessment & improvement

“Can prioritizing onboarding really help boost retention?” you may be asking yourself.

The short answer is yes, it really can.

For this episode of Process Street‘s Employee Onboarding Podcast, the team participated in an employee onboarding panel at the HR Transform conference in Las Vegas.

We had a great time hanging out with customers and discussing how important a role onboarding plays in retaining your talent long term.

The speakers were:

• Vinay Patankar – CEO and Co-founder of Process Street
• Danielle Monaghan – VP Global Talent at Uber (now Google)
• Greg Russell – Head of Talent at Snapdocs

Some key points discussed during the panel included:

• Preboarding = better retention
• Personalize onboarding as much as possible
• Transparency helps facilitate process improvement
• Good hiring & onboarding takes a village

What do a neuroscientist, a DJ, a college professor, and a bartender have in common? 

They all work at Process Street. 

Part of that is due to being a remote company (wider talent pool). Part is the type of person typically drawn to startup work (liminal weirdos). And part is a company culture that understands tacit knowledge is just as valuable – sometimes more valuable – than explicit training. 

This particular cocktail adds up to a company made up of people with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives collaborating towards a shared objective. 

The outcome – to use the technical term – is very cool.

This is the genesis of our Employee Spotlight series. Not only are our people highly talented in their company roles, but they bring with them a wealth of stories that make for some very entertaining small talk at the beginning of our monthly all-hands meetings.

In honor of International Women in Engineering Day, putting one of our engineers in the spotlight was a no-brainer. 

Allow me to introduce our Senior Frontend Engineer, wife, futsal star, dog-parent, and all-around exceptional human being: Leti Escanciano.

We achieved SOC 2, Type 2 compliance at Process Street, and I want to give you a quick rundown of what that security milestone means for us and our customers.

As we help thousands of organizations implement business-critical processes, an incredible amount of data is constantly moving through or being stored on our platform. You’ve entrusted us to securely handle your user and workflow information at all times, and we take that responsibility seriously every day. 

Part of our commitment to security manifests in the admin and user controls we make directly available to you — for example, role-based access, single sign-on, and identity management integrations.

But a lot of the work to keep your data safe happens behind the scenes, and that’s where SOC 2 comes in.

If you’ve been looking at ways to make your content delivery processes more efficient, you’re not alone.

There are tons of articles on content creation, even more on creative processes, but hardly any articles focused on improving content processes.

This article is all about addressing that imbalance, and getting your content systems coordinated to improve your team’s content efficiency, quality, and delivery. 

By the end, we want to share the exact process we used to:

• Drop our delivery time for content upload by 50%
• Increase our team productivity by 35%
• Improve client satisfaction by 20%
• Enlarge work capacity by 15%

It’s one thing to tinker around the edges, making small improvements here and there. It’s another to re-think and radically change the way you deliver your content. Developing your small business mindset and continuously evaluating your processes are the key to improving your overall content marketing efforts this year.

This article will walk you through every step we took to do that using Process Street’s automated workflows.

• Rethink your delivery process: Give your content marketing a workout
• Content marketing delivery: How we broke the system
• The right tool for the job: How do I get my processes in line?
• How did this one process impact our productivity?
• The future is processes: Cut out distractions and do what you love

Let’s get to it!
