Achieve Remarkable Results almost Immediately

Do you want to immediately increase the performance and profitability of your architecture business without spending a lot of money?

Are you frequently dissatisfied with your team’s performance and the quality of deliverables?

Operating an architectural practice is complex and difficult. Client demands that are unreasonable, inadequate team understanding and performance, complicated coordination, and a huge salary expense are just a few of the issues that make this sort of business one of the most challenging to operate.

An employee handbook enhances your business by clearly conveying your vision, direction, and standards to your team. It serves as your “silent partner,” articulating your expectations both when you are present and when you are not.

Your company’s success depends on the performance of your employees. You need architects who are imaginative, detail-oriented, passionate, and industrious.

Your employees are responsible for a substantial portion of your architectural firm’s success. The performance of your company will improve significantly if your personnel are well-informed, educated, and well-trained.

An employee handbook is a cost-effective solution to instantly enhance all aspects of your practice.

Can your Architectural Practice really thrive without an Employee Handbook?


3 Real Breakthrough Benefits of an Employee Handbook in your Practice

Benefit 1: Your team will instantly know your expectations

Clearer communication with minimal effort.

The first significant advantage is that your team will immediately understand what is expected of them. You may not have had the opportunity to express everything to your employees.

All of the details should be included in an employee manual.

When someone new joins your team, they will have a tool to help them get started. Many architecture practices are inefficient because their teams have not been informed of the specifics, including workflow, regulations, required degree of service delivery and much more.

They may have been provided general guidelines, however you must be specific.

Benefit 2: It will set the benchmark for customer service

Benchmarks are crucial for repeat work.

As you already know, quality of design and client service is the key to the success of an Architectural Practice. Your practice revolves around delivering innovative design, delivering projects on time and accurate coordination.

Achieving 5 star reviews for every single client should be your goal. If it isn’t, your practice will struggle to compete and in the end struggle to survive.

Set the expected minimum standards for your team with an Employee Handbook.

Benefit 3: It stops you repeating yourself

Repetitive, unnecessary communication is a productivity killer.

A good friend of mine once told me if you don’t want to repeat yourself, don’t have kids or operate a business. How true this is. Implementing an employee handbook means you will not have to repeat yourself over and over again. Your team will have a document they can refer to first.

Make sure you always refer to the Employee Handbook when they ask you questions. It must be consistently reviewed and up to date.

Take it seriously and your team will take it seriously.
