Processes at the agency can quickly get sidelined in favor of so-called shortcuts and workarounds that leave your operations muddled with inefficiency and loss of productivity. When one team builds processes and workflows that help achieve maximum output, new hires who are fond of finding alternatives to tedious tasks can leave the whole effort in ruins by choosing not to follow procedures. Paired with the usual high turnover rates at your insurance agency, keeping a well-constructed system afloat can seem impossible.
