Businesses have had to shift from working in the office to working remotely. They have had to adjust to all kind of new challenges ranging from more frequent interruptions, as employees and managers cope with the new reality of sharing both space and bandwidth with family members who are sheltered in place with them, to remotely coordinating work, documents, and approvals that were previously accomplished via face-to-face contact.
With managers no longer collocated with employees, it is more difficult to provide ongoing guidance and effectively communicate on-the-fly changes in priority. To help bridge these unexpected gaps in process and communication; in short, in maintaining operational integrity a
With a simple, no-code, drag and drop interface, checklists and forms can be created easily, get reviewed, updated, approved, and published for immediate use by teams; all without requiring IT’s help. Once created, the forms can be used by any authorized users with a web browser from anywhere they can make an Internet connection. Using Workstream Services, managers can configure everything from lightweight workflows that allow reviews, comments, requests for additional information, etc. to simple checklists that ensure every necessary step is taken or every element required is included.
All of this can be done in one place allowing for orderly, governed, multi-layered approvals that are both efficient (only include what is needed as designed by the business owner) and auditable. Three templates are included out of the box:
- Request work from home resources
- Leave of absence request
- Review new safety procedures
In addition, users can create their own workstreams with three basic patterns - checklists, approvals and sequence of steps.
