Overview of the webinar

This presentation will address three significant challenges facing Human Resources:

  • Being viewed as a business partner vs. a team support member. 
  • Move from reactionary (fill positions, deal with employee grievances and complaints) to providing proactive strategies and insight into the institution's total management and decision-making.
  • Respond to inquiries faster and reduce decision-making time by using a scientific approach to measure and evaluate outcomesand open up about their true feelings in a respectful and dignified manner, where a person seeks answers rather than to prove a point.  It also makes it harder to understand why a person feels a certain way.

Area Covered In The Webinar

  • Participants will be able to define what Six Sigma means and how it can be applied to the HR process in a short amount of time.
