That's a fact, your employees encounter irritants on a daily basis. In other words, inefficient processes, unsuitable tools, organizational problems or even frustrating situations that hamper their effectiveness. Individually, these irritants may seem insignificant. But combined, they have a major impact on overall performance, employee satisfaction and even innovation. So, rather than letting these irritants build up and hamper productivity, it is in your best interest to implement an effective irritant management system. And this, in order to continuously improve your internal processes.

In this article, we will introduce you to the new feature on irritant management.

How to source and transform irritants into concrete projects with Beeshake?

How to capture irritants?

When it comes to managing irritants, many companies use ticketing tools to report issues. However, these tools are limited to one-off incidents and don't address broader irritants, such as inefficient processes or organizational frustrations.

Beeshake, on the other hand, allows to source irritants in a broader and collaborative manner. Rather than focusing solely on technical issues, it provides a space where employees can share irritants related to their tools, working methods or environment. This approach promotes discussion, the proposal of solutions and the creation of a real action plan to solve problems. Irritants can be sourced via:

• Common areas : In a space similar to a news feed, employees can publish irritants quickly and easily, thus ensuring maximum visibility.
• Thematic groups : For a more targeted approach, you can create specific groups for specific topics (for example, "Customer Experience at the Point of Sale"). Each employee can then share an irritant related to a specific topic, making it easier to manage and organize returns.

How to turn irritants into drivers of change?

Once the irritants have been sourced, the continuous improvement platform Beeshake allows you to transform these irritants in opportunities for improvement and innovation through a structured approach. Here's how it works:

• Discussions and debates Other collaborators can comment, debate, and provide clarification on the identified irritant. This exchange phase allows for the problem to be refined and provides a better understanding of its impact.
• Proposal of solutions : Rather than simply identifying the problem, Beeshake allows employees to directly propose solutions in response to the irritants raised.
• Launch of collaborative projects As soon as a solution is proposed, it is automatically transformed into a project. A project team can then be formed around the solution. Interested collaborators can join the initiative, enrich the idea, and contribute to its realization.
• Project monitoring and dissemination: Once the solution is proposed, it enters a phased management system with a clearly defined roadmap. Each member of the project team and all other collaborators can track progress, comment, contribute additional resources, or simply inquire about next steps.

This approach ensures rapid resolution of problems and promotes a collaborative and constructive dynamic. Indeed, a study by McKinsey & Company reveals that companies that promote collaboration and the sharing of good practices among their employees are 25% more productive et 35% more efficient than those who do not.
