Description:

If accreditation work feels harder than it should, the issue may not be the workload — it may be the lack of systems. In this episode, Areaka breaks down how creating simple, repeatable playbooks can transform the way accreditation managers work. From gathering proofs and building files to writing policies and planning assessments, you’ll learn how documenting your processes reduces stress, improves consistency, and makes delegation and succession planning easier. This episode walks through core playbooks every accreditation manager should have, plus additional playbooks that can save significant time and prevent last-minute chaos.
