Some examples include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is there something repetitive and time-consuming about this process that we can change?<\/li>\n<li>What are some overlooked work-related problems?<\/li>\n<li>What would make you take X decision instead of Y during a procedure?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ensure your employees&#8217; feedback will not generate negative repercussions for them. You only want to receive sincere and objective opinions, so you must make them comfortable about opening regarding company issues.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Analyse_your_current_workflow\"><\/span>2.
