The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
In today's fast-paced digital landscape, the cost of bad workflow in enterprise companies has grown significantly. Without effective workflow automation tools, employees are forced into time-consuming, manual processes that drain productivity, increase operational costs, and hamper organizational agility. Many enterprises still rely on outdated systems and scattered workflows that prevent them from reaching optimal productivity. With that in mind, here are four critical focus areas where poor workflow costs enterprise companies dearly.
Inefficient workflows can lead to massive productivity losses. According to a report by the McKinsey Global Institute, employees spend nearly 20% of their time on “searching and gathering information.” This lack of structure and organization in workflows translates into wasted hours, frustration, and lost productivity.
The direct impact is clear: in a company with 1,000 employees, this inefficiency can cost millions of dollars annually. For example, if each employee earns an average of $50 per hour and wastes 20% of their time due to workflow inefficiencies, the company is losing $10,000 per employee each year—or a staggering $10 million total. Furthermore, Gartner reports that 57% of companies with highly inefficient workflows experience higher employee turnover, which adds to recruitment and training expenses.
To improve productivity, companies need a centralized workflow automation system. Automated workflow solutions streamline processes by reducing redundancies and allowing employees to access the information they need quickly, enhancing productivity and employee satisfaction.
The cost of maintaining manual workflows includes not only labor expenses but also the risk of manual errors. Human error costs U.S. businesses an estimated $37 billion annually. Errors in data entry, document processing, and task management can delay projects, damage customer relationships, and incur legal and financial penalties.
For example, in finance, a single misplaced decimal point in a manual process can lead to severe consequences. Research shows that enterprises implementing workflow automation can reduce errors by as much as 50%. Additionally, companies that leverage AI-based workflow automation save between 20% and 30% in operational costs, as per Deloitte's findings.
Automating repetitive tasks and document management workflows with AI-powered tools can significantly reduce human errors and lower operational costs. StartingPoint provides a seamless platform for minimizing error-prone tasks by automatically routing documents, validating data, and generating accurate reports, reducing operational expenses across service delivery and shared services teams.
When workflows are convoluted and unorganized, project delivery suffers. Delays in project timelines increase operational expenses and diminish customer satisfaction. According to PMI’s Pulse of the Profession report, 70% of organizations experience at least one project failure each year, with poor workflow management often cited as the main cause. This results in missed opportunities, competitive disadvantages, and reduced profitability.
Another study by IDC highlights that companies using streamlined workflow automation achieve a 55% faster project turnaround time, improving client satisfaction and employee morale. Slow project completion not only impacts the bottom line but can also damage brand reputation, particularly for companies handling sensitive client data or regulated services.
Automated workflow solutions optimize project tracking, milestone updates, and task assignments, accelerating project timelines and enabling employees to focus on strategic tasks. With StartingPoint, shared services and project delivery teams can set up automated reminders, track task progress in real time, and ensure deadlines are met without the need for manual oversight, driving faster and more reliable project delivery.
Bad workflows place an undue burden on employees, leading to increased stress and burnout. In fact, a study by Gallup found that 76% of employees experience burnout at least sometimes, with workflow inefficiencies being a primary contributor. Employees often spend a substantial amount of time on redundant, administrative tasks, resulting in lower job satisfaction and increased disengagement.
Burnout directly affects employee morale, which then leads to productivity dips and higher turnover rates. Deloitte research suggests that companies with poorly designed workflows have 31% higher turnover rates than those with optimized workflows. When employees lack the tools to complete their work efficiently, it impacts their motivation, ultimately costing enterprises in recruitment, training, and lost productivity.
By implementing AI-powered workflow tools that eliminate repetitive tasks, companies can alleviate employee burnout and boost morale. StartingPoint’s workflow automation solution allows employees to focus on meaningful work by automating routine tasks, improving job satisfaction and engagement while lowering attrition rates.
