Three-Phase Work Task Process
Enhance team performance with structured work processes
Sometimes, we don’t have to look for very complex solutions. Human performance has many facets, and one of the simpler levers to use when we want to help people perform better is to make sure that all work processes are structured.
Team Consensus Leads to Higher Performance
Our data shows that there are ‘missing links’ in how work tasks are typically organised, and that structured work processes are a proactive performance tool. When a proper structure is applied, it ensures that the entire team is informed, involved, and able to support each other, and the jobs are safer and more efficient for everyone. It helps ensure that all efforts needed are addressed and managed and that those involved agree on what is considered the ‘correct way of doing things’.
Work Task Process in 3 Phases
Structure work tasks by dividing them into a three-phase process: preparation, execution, and finalisation. Risk management is a very good example to demonstrate how a structured work process enhances not only safety but also the performance of the team. If we implement the three-phase work process as a solid part of routines, we can ensure that all team members’ attention is directed towards what matters, because it involves action and engagement before, during, and after every job.
