There are so many varying aspects to running a business you need to think about. Quite often, we forget just how much is going on behind the scenes to help make your business run smoothly, especially the busier we get!
Administration work plays a vital role in the running of any business. By having good administration processes in place, your business is going to be more efficient. Subsequently, it will run a lot more smoothly, which is what any business owner wants to hear! This blog will explore the benefits of a business admin health audit. We recommend every business having one at least twice a year to ensure they are sticking to their processes especially if they have seen a significant growth through the year.
What is a business health audit?
When you have your own business, it can be all too easy to focus on the immediate needs of your customers, staff, and suppliers. Unfortunately, this means you can forget about the future and creating long term plans. These long-term plans can make all the difference to how successful your company can grow. Let’s not forget, as a business owner, you need to work on the business as well as in the business.
That is where an admin health audit can come into play. A business admin health audit looks at your current business processes and sees where you could improve. Like any audit, it is a method of analysing your current processes and systems. The results can help to vastly improve your administrative tasks in the long run.
Think about your processes
To begin your Business Admin Health Audit, you will be asked several questions to help you really think about different aspects of your business. This can help you consider all areas and make you consider areas of your admin you may not usually think about or might miss.
Once you have done your audit you will be given a colour rating based of off a RAG process. If you receive a green, then your current processes are in great shape. However, if you get a red or amber, there are areas within your admin that we feel could need improving. Don’t worry, we will help you to understand your current processes and how they can be improved.
The results of the audit will show you what areas in your businesses are going well and which ones you may need to work on. These revealed areas show you where you need to focus your attention. This can help save you time in the long run and can help your business to thrive with just making a few tweaks.
After you receive your results, we can then help you improve the processes that need it within a timescale that suits you. We do this through a one-to-one consultation, where we can also help to direct you to the resources you need. All of this will help improve your administrative elements and the overall efficiency of your business.
