Good Morning, Clients, Future Clients, and those who just happened upon us on this lovely Tuesday! Today, I wanted to discuss management, checks and balances, and corporate structure.
The checks and balances of your company’s structure are one of the utmost important aspects of your flow. You want managers, but maybe you don’t want micromanagers. You want happy employees, just not lazy, lethargic ones. Your company needs checks and balances to ensure that quality and evolution occur on a consistent and ongoing basis. Here are some ways an owner or director can help the process.
Encourage open discussion and communication between all levels of management and employees. You want to prevent managers from developing cases of “closed office doors” and employees from experiencing “detachment blues,” and also avoid multitasking because it has been proven to be ineffective.
The less communication occurs, the greater the distance becomes between managers and employees. When this happens, employees lose focus and motivation, and managers begin to feel excluded from the labor process. Having managers sit with employees and help streamline the workflow (rather than standing over it and micromanaging it) is a great way to address the lack of communication.
Create a system of quarterly reviews. Ensure the reviews are set up, allowing the employee to assess their own performance and comment on their job description (what could be improved, what type of task would make them happier, and what their professional goals are with the company).
Prevent an environment of micromanagement from infecting your company. Of course, it’s a fine line; you don’t want a company with everyone working with no supervision. However, if you follow some of the tips above, which encourage communications between all levels of your corporation, you, by way of niceties, do prevent it.
I hesitate to use this example; however, it best describes the fundamental idea here. Some low-end department stores will follow a patron around a store if they think they are going to steal, and they may even ask them to search their purse or bag. High-end stores greet you as soon as you enter and ask if you need any assistance. In the first example, you spawn aggression and create an environment of distrust. In the second, you encourage politeness, helpfulness, and display that you are in charge of your business. It’s all in the packaging (pun intended).
Payment Delivery Via an Outsourced Partner
Employers are always seeking various ways to reduce costs. Saving money is a key goal for any business, as it ultimately leads to increased profits. One popular way to do this lately is to outsource accounts payable tasks, such as checks and mailings, to another company.
How Outsourcing Benefits Business
Some novice business owners may wonder why anyone would ever transfer some of their own responsibilities to another business. They see releasing any amount of control as a negative, but that does not have to be the case at all. Entrepreneur.com explains it this way,
For many businesses, payroll services offer an attractive and valuable alternative to in-house processing. Chosen correctly, they provide a less expensive, simpler means of paying your employees, filing your taxes, and performing a host of other duties these companies’ sales reps can’t wait to tell you about.
This is important to realize. If there is a saving for outsourcing a service that does not generate a profit, then it is probably wise to go ahead and outsource that service.
Highly Trained Employees
One of the pitfalls of keeping payroll in-house is the possibility that payroll employees may not receive sufficient training to perform their job accurately and effectively. This, of course, is a big problem when it comes to payroll, as mistakes made in this department can have huge repercussions. Companies that provide payroll services typically employ highly trained staff whose primary responsibility is to process payroll accurately and efficiently. They typically have extensive experience and are more than happy to work with you.
Dealing With The IRS
Outsourcing payroll services allows business owners to maintain some peace of mind when dealing with the IRS. It has been reported that approximately 33% of businesses experience payroll mistakes. The vast majority of these are companies that run their payroll operations in-house. This means that those who outsource their payroll can at least rest at ease that they are very unlikely to have a mistake with payroll or a problem with the IRS.
An Accounts Payable Department You Can Get Excited About
Paying clients, vendors, and customers is a part of the process. Your small business depends as much on the outgoing cash flow as it does on the incoming. Having the best accounts payable business process is more important than you think. Even being able to refund customers adequately under certain circumstances can be a pretty important part of maintaining your business. However, more often than not, small business operators overlook this aspect of their core competency. But this is a big mistake. The accounts payable department can be just as much a leak in your business as it can be an intricate part of the process.
