Exploring Six Sigma in HR: What Project Topics Are Worth Investigating?

Greetings.

I am Vishal. I recently became a member of CiteHR. Can anyone please tell me the topics on which we can do Six Sigma projects related to HR?

Thank you. Actually, I will try to evaluate the effectiveness of staff who have undergone Six Sigma training in the last five years and assess how my company has benefited from them.

That might turn out to be quite painful. I'd be interested to see if your company has made a profit after all the training, new equipment, and removal of people from their roles have been taken into account. Many companies have not.

Hi Vishal,

You could look at the cycle time reduction for HR processes like recruitment (time from receiving a manpower requisition request to a candidate joining), or processing of employee services such as claims processing, F&F, etc.

The improved quality of service, such as faster response to HR customers, could be the areas for which we can have a Six Sigma project.

Hi there,

Thanks for all the inputs. Last week, I was in Bangalore and attended the training on Six Sigma. I agree that the effectiveness of the training would turn out to be a big challenge. I even discussed the same with my faculty. I am at Bharat Electronics Limited (Taloja-Nr. Navi Mumbai) plant. We have some employees who come late regularly. So, I will try to reduce that number, and I have taken it up as my Six Sigma project. I have started to gather data. I am waiting for feedback.

Hi Vishal,

I am Mohanish Raut from Nagpur, currently pursuing my MBA from NIS Academy, Nagpur. Could you please provide me with some information about Six Sigma and recommend any institutes that offer training in that area?

Thank you and best wishes,
