Documents are an essential element of any job. If you’re handing over an undertaking to an incoming team member or getting ready for a busy season, documentation is a must. Documentation that is well-organized allows you to provide an abundance of information, from account logins to step-by-step directions, which your team can use when the work is getting more intense. Documentation also helps save time, as you won’t have to search through emails or downloads to find the information you require.
