This is an excerpt from How To Improve Workflow Process And Boost Efficiency In Your Agency
Every company, at some point, struggles with building or keeping up with the existing workflow process.

Between November 2017 and January 2018, 403 employees took part in this survey.
These were senior executives, managers, and junior staff, and they all had something to say about poor communication in their workplace.
