Hello, Community! 
We’re back with another edition of our Q&A with a Work Management Expert series!
Today we’re excited to spotlight Youp Salemink, an automation enthusiast and efficiency expert who recently completed both the Asana Foundations Skill Badge and the Workflow Specialist Certificate. 
Youp’s day-to-day involves tackling one of the biggest challenges teams face: creating transparency, maintaining accountability, and ensuring visibility across workloads. With too many tools trying to do the same thing, work can quickly become cluttered, making it harder for teams to stay aligned and own their responsibilities.
That’s where his certifications come in. By mastering core platform functions, building basic workflows, and learning to design enterprise-level processes, Youp is now equipped to influence stakeholders, boost adoption rates, and streamline workflows. All while keeping clicks to a minimum.
“It aligns with my personal passion to make everything that can be automated, automated. Why click when your system can do it for you? This way the person involved can focus on their core tasks instead of updating things manually.”
With this mindset, Youp is helping his team get the most out of Asana while minimizing the effort required from users. It’s about working smarter, not harder, and letting automation take care of the repetitive stuff so people can focus on what really matters.
