Ensure that you improve your process over time. Some key concepts in installing people processes in your business: Breakdown your employee lifecycle into four broad stages. Onboarding Offboarding Annual review. Adhoc events. Systemizing these processes shouldn’t have to be specifically written out with every detail.
