Standard operating procedures, or SOP, give out instructions on how to perform a certain task or act in a certain scenario and are also crucial when it comes to compliance. Usually, these procedures require consistency as overlooking a step can compromise the quality of work, productivity, and even safety. Rolling out SOP training to your employees ensures that standards are followed and that a clear understanding of these procedures is established for your employees. This way, they can apply them on the job efficiently.
