The labor market struggles are real! Companies across all industries are battling to retain employees due to their rigorous demands that have drastically evolved since the COVID-19 pandemic. From higher compensation to more time off to remote work flexibility, the needs of your staff can no longer be overlooked if you want to sustain loyal personnel.
While there's been a massive shift of human resources teams now making employee retention their top priority, there's a tremendous opportunity to focus on creating loyalty in ways competitors are not: A pleasant work experience.
If you look specifically at your sales operations teams, including sales reps, account managers, service agents, data management teams, and operations personnel, you'll find that many are plagued with manual, tedious workflows:
These unappealing tasks can result in disengaged employees ready to move on from your company — showing a clear, desperate need for process improvements.
It's human nature to desire fulfilling work. Sales reps want to build relationships with other people, data teams want to solve problems through numbers creatively, and account managers want to engineer solutions to help customers meet their business goals. Unfortunately, most time gets spent on monotonous, uninteresting work like data entry, preparation, and updates, much of which can be automated.
This is where system-built business automation greatly maximizes job satisfaction, specifically from an expert provider who understands your most unappealing workflows and has the automation software to optimize them. You can create data flows that keep your business moving and employees happy by leveraging cross-app integrations through application programming interfaces (APIs) or integrator tools.
Leveraging operational automation provides substantial benefits beyond improving workflow efficiency and reducing the costs of process errors. You create a better work experience for your employees by letting them spend less time on unappealing, mundane tasks and more time on relationship-building, problem-solving, and analytical work.
In addition to generating higher job satisfaction, you can reduce the costs of turnover at your company — no more eroding your profit margin with costly recruitment and training expenses or getting hit by the indirect costs of lost productivity from staff shortages.
