Bespoke SOP Compliance software can be used to help you manage the process, however you can also manage your SOP&#8217;s with your existing systems.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this many organizations still struggle to get the correct SOP&#8217;s created, distributed and understood by their employees. This blog will give 10 points to consider when implementing any SOP in your organization and show some areas where using SharePoint as your SOP compliance software can help:<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"\">What is a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)?<\/h3>\n<p>Standard Operation Procedures (SOPs) are detailed written instructions to achieve uniformity of the performance of a specific function. A well-written and implemented SOP can be used to satisfy compliance requirements, mitigate health and safety risk, or simply to work in a consistent and efficient manner throughout an organization. This guide will give 10 points to consider when implementing any SOP in your organization:<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"\">Step 1 \u2013 Ensure the Purpose of the SOP is understood<\/h3>\n<p>Ask yourself why is the Standard Operation Procedure is required. What problem will it solve and what does it need to achieve. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Protect the environment.<\/li>\n<li>Drive down costs.<\/li>\n<li>Increase quality.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure safety and\/or reduce risk.<\/li>\n<li>Provide training reference.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 style=\"\">Step 2 &#8211; Consider your audience<\/h3>\n<p>Ensure that the audience size and shape, language skills, and prior knowledge of the subject are taken into account when writing the SOP. It may be that one area of the SOP has to cater for a different type of audience than another and may therefore benefit from a different layout. Pictures versus words for example.<\/p>\n<p>__CONFIG_colors_palette__{&#8220;active_palette&#8221;:0,&#8221;config&#8221;:{&#8220;colors&#8221;:{&#8220;16871&#8221;:{&#8220;name&#8221;:&#8221;Accent Darker&#8221;,&#8221;parent&#8221;:&#8221;43816&#8243;,&#8221;lock&#8221;:{&#8220;saturation&#8221;:0}},&#8221;43816&#8243;:{&#8220;name&#8221;:&#8221;Main Accent&#8221;,&#8221;parent&#8221;:-1},&#8221;4592d&#8221;:{&#8220;name&#8221;:&#8221;Accent Lighter&#8221;,&#8221;parent&#8221;:&#8221;43816&#8243;,&#8221;lock&#8221;:{&#8220;lightness&#8221;:1,&#8221;saturation&#8221;:1}}},&#8221;gradients&#8221;:[]},&#8221;palettes&#8221;:[{&#8220;name&#8221;:&#8221;Default&#8221;,&#8221;value&#8221;:{&#8220;colors&#8221;:{&#8220;16871&#8221;:{&#8220;val&#8221;:&#8221;rgb(3, 3, 3)&#8221;,&#8221;hsl_parent_dependency&#8221;:{&#8220;h&#8221;:80,&#8221;l&#8221;:0.01,&#8221;s&#8221;:-0.05}},&#8221;43816&#8243;:{&#8220;val&#8221;:&#8221;rgb(171, 212, 107)&#8221;,&#8221;hsl&#8221;:{&#8220;h&#8221;:83,&#8221;s&#8221;:0.5497,&#8221;l&#8221;:0.6255,&#8221;a&#8221;:1}},&#8221;4592d&#8221;:{&#8220;val&#8221;:&#8221;rgb(244, 250, 235)&#8221;,&#8221;hsl_parent_dependency&#8221;:{&#8220;h&#8221;:84,&#8221;l&#8221;:0.95,&#8221;s&#8221;:0.58}}},&#8221;gradients&#8221;:[]},&#8221;original&#8221;:{&#8220;colors&#8221;:{&#8220;16871&#8221;:{&#8220;val&#8221;:&#8221;rgb(29, 23, 12)&#8221;,&#8221;hsl_parent_dependency&#8221;:{&#8220;h&#8221;:38,&#8221;s&#8221;:0.41,&#8221;l&#8221;:0.08,&#8221;a&#8221;:1}},&#8221;43816&#8243;:{&#8220;val&#8221;:&#8221;rgb(255, 204, 102)&#8221;,&#8221;hsl&#8221;:{&#8220;h&#8221;:40,&#8221;s&#8221;:1,&#8221;l&#8221;:0.7,&#8221;a&#8221;:1}},&#8221;4592d&#8221;:{&#8220;val&#8221;:&#8221;rgb(250, 246, 236)&#8221;,&#8221;hsl_parent_dependency&#8221;:{&#8220;h&#8221;:42,&#8221;s&#8221;:0.58,&#8221;l&#8221;:0.95,&#8221;a&#8221;:1}}},&#8221;gradients&#8221;:[]}}]}__CONFIG_colors_palette__  <\/p>\n<h1 style=\"\"><span>Managing your <strong>policy lifecycle<\/strong> in SharePoint<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>   <a href=\"https:\/\/www.collaboris.com\/manage-your-policy-management-lifecycle-in-sharepoint\/\" style=\"border-radius: 0px; overflow: hidden;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"\"><span style=\"\">Find out how<\/span><\/span> <\/a>   <\/p>\n<h3 style=\"\">Step 3 \u2013 Ensure effective format and layout<\/h3>\n<p>There are no \u2018silver bullet\u2019 answers on how to layout or present your SOP, but there are some simple points to consider:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Is there a pre-existing format in use that is working? \u2013 If it isn\u2019t broken don\u2019t fix it.<\/li>\n<li>If there are many routes through the process, then it may lend itself to flowchart layout. \u2013 Research shows that 83% of human learning occurs visually.<\/li>\n<li>Is the process very long? &nbsp;&#8211; Then it may be better to have hierarchical steps, giving a list of main steps with sub steps underneath to help give clarity.<\/li>\n<li>Is it a simple routine with few steps? \u2013 Then a simple list may be the most effective way.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 style=\"\">Step 4 \u2013 Appropriate authors need to be engaged<\/h3>\n<p>It may go without saying, however in order to write a SOP, you need to have the necessary knowledge. Whilst you may have been tasked to create, and even own this SOP, always bare in mind that you may not be the best person to write it. Ensure that experts in the relevant areas are brought into the authorising process. Using tools like&nbsp;<strong>SharePoint<\/strong> to facilitate that <strong>collaboration<\/strong> is key to success at this stage.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"\">Step 5 &#8211; Provide relevant structure and content<\/h3>\n<p>There may be different needs for different scenarios, however the following are examples of basic details that need to be included in the SOP:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Scope of Standard Operation Procedure.<\/li>\n<li>The procedure itself.<\/li>\n<li>Any Health and Safety considerations.<\/li>\n<li>Any equipment needs.<\/li>\n<li>Glossary of terms and Hints and Tips<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Read our SOPs guide<\/h3>\n<p>Read our 7 series guide on Standard Operating Procedures<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"\">Step 6 \u2013 Use a suitable writing style<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Ensure any text in the document is clear and concise otherwise the audience will find it difficult to follow and use as a reference.<\/li>\n<li>Try not to use any reference to the person (You, He, She, Him, Her).<\/li>\n<li>Ensure steps are clearly referenced in order to help with ease of reference and ease of maintenance in the future.<\/li>\n<li>Break up large chunks of texts with diagrams and flowcharts; remember a picture paints a thousand words.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 style=\"\">Step 7 &#8211; SOP testing<\/h3>\n<p>Ensure the SOP is tested by the people who will use it, and ensure comments are taken onboard and updated within the SOP wherever possible<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"\">Step 8 &#8211; Ensure the SOP is available in a known location<\/h3>\n<p>Most organizations have a standard repository location for SOP. &nbsp;Most commonly used is a SharePoint site either at department or organization level.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"\">Step 9 \u2013 Ensure the SOP is distributed and read<\/h3>\n<p>Whilst a repository is required, simply placing your SOP on SharePoint will not be enough. Once a SOP is updated or put in place it is imperative that all the relevant user groups read the document. &nbsp;In many compliance situations it will be mandatory by legislation to have <strong>confirmation that SOP has been read<\/strong> and understood. The recommendation would be to use a SharePoint based tool such as <a href=\"\/products\/docread\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DocRead<\/a> from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.collaboris.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Collaboris<\/a> to manage this whole process for you. SOP Compliance software can provide efficiencies and also ease any subsequent audit requirements.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"\">Step 10 &#8211; Ensure comprehension<\/h3>\n<p>Just asking staff to confirm they have read the SOP will not usually be enough to&nbsp;<strong>ensure understanding<\/strong>.&nbsp; There is a need to ensure staff have understood what is meant by the SOP.&nbsp; Setting a test to be passed when the audience reads the SOP is a good way to achieve this. Again <a href=\"\/products\/docread\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DocRead<\/a> coupled with <a href=\"\/products\/sharepoint-survey\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"outline: none;\" rel=\"noopener\">DocSurvey<\/a> from <strong>Collaboris&nbsp;<\/strong>is a great way to achieve this within a SharePoint environment. Check out this blog post on <a href=\"\/how-to-improve-your-sop-training-using-sharepoint\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"outline: none;\" rel=\"noopener\">How to improve your SOP training using SharePoint<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Summary<\/h3>\n<p>All of these steps can be completed using basic Office systems &#8211; at it&#8217;s most basic level a piece of paper, pen and file are all that&#8217;s needed.
