STANDARDS - Is the quality of work decreasing because everyone is completing work in their own way?
It’s frustrating when nothing seems like it is completed the way it is supposed to be.

You would get the most benefit right now from creating a better system of standards with built-in accountability. It is important to develop standards that cover the best and safest way to perform work and get all employees to buy in to it. This standard sets-up clear expectations for employees and a level of quality and service the customer can consistently count on. Proven accountability methods need to be used that incorporate responsibility at multiple levels including leadership, team, and between peers. This even playing field helps work get accomplished accurately and timely, plus it also improves morale.
