Everyone wants to do a good job. Show them how.
Desertifre Pty Ltd wants you to feel confident in your workplace and have the necessary tools and support to manage change and instructions seamlessly. However, leading a large team can be challenging, making it feel like your business is out of control. At Desertifre, we believe everyone deserves systems that help them succeed. We understand the challenges of documentation overload and fighting avoidable fires.
You have three primary task-related communication systems:
- Procedures or SOPs
- On-the-job training, and
- Job aids
A lot of the variability you see is the result of these systems not being in agreeance. Your procedure says one thing, on-the-job training teaches something else, and your job aids may be different again. Not only is this situation an audit/document management nightmare, but it sends mixed messages to your operators that result in variability, scrap, waste, injuries, etc.
Our technology and coaching provide anyone with the tools to create a scalable system to instruct staff efficiently, reduce errors, and grow your business or department with confidence. Here's how: sign up for a free trial and create your first PPM. It's easy, fast, and intuitive. Share it with your team since your PPM is created in MS Word, you can share it like any other document. Bring order into the chaos with clean and visual instructions. Your team knows how to do a good job, and you are confident it's being done well.
