How to use Process Street for crisis management in a downturn

Times are tough right now, and what’s even more difficult is balancing your margins against the wellbeing of your employees. Stress levels will be higher, and naturally, you will have to expect less than optimal capacity.

One thing you can do to shore up against this kind of downturn is to improve your internal processes to make your (and your employees) job easier. If stress levels are high, having a clear, easy-to-follow process with a clean, intuitive interface will help offload mental energy and reduce human error.

You’ll also save time by eliminating tedious manual tasks from the process (by automating them). You can also more readily enforce process adherence and flexibility to make your procedures more robust.
