Strategic Human Resource Management The role of Six Sigma in the Human Resources field.

Management

For nearly three decades, the quality management philosophy known as Six Sigma has brought competitive advantage to organizations implementing it. The typical approach, however, has been to have leaders from operations, engineering, quality, and marketing manage this strategic initiative. Human resource’s role has been to default to the administrative tasks of organizing the required training, keeping records, and assisting in the selection of candidates for the program. Yet for the past two decades human resources has also been struggling to gain a seat at the executive table (Fazzari & Levitt, 2008, p.171).

HR is a service department with various services to provide, customers to satisfy, government regulations to comply with, production schedules to keep, budgets to meet, and a bottom line to protect and enhance. With these issues in mind, Six Sigma can be just as appropriate in HR as it would be in any other organizational department. These functions were the very reasons that Six Sigma was developed Application of Six Sigma to the HR functions could help improve quality of hire including training, reduce time and cost to hire, develop job description, reduce turn over and have faster response time to internal documentation (HR Focus, 2007. p.5-6). Demands for greater efficiency and competitiveness continue to force companies to improve levels of-quality in everything they do. As a result, human resources professionals are finding new and rewarding responsibilities. The value of the new HR function is increasing particularly in organizations that are committed to the advanced form of a revolutionary quality concept called Six Sigma (Defeo, 2000. p. 1). Committing to a Six Sigma initiative can be an expensive and complex action on the part of management, but its record of success makes exploring the option worthwhile (HR Focus, 2007. p.8)

Women Fashion

We often see women taking hours to shop for clothes at department stores. They look at a lovely dress, try it on, and contemplate if it is worth buying or not. Thirty minutes later, they finally make up their mind and head to the checkout counter. At the last minute however, they realise it is not what they really want after all so they put the dress back on the rack and continue with their quest for the perfect outfit. If you have observed something similar to this, you would have to wonder why women put so much time and effort shopping for the perfect clothes.

First of all, women’s clothing is deemed quite important to the female population because it is an expression of their persona. They can easily convey to everyone around them who they really are from the clothes they wear. Bright and sunny individuals often put on colourful outfits, in shades of pastel. They project the image of someone who is always happy and it is very evident in their clothes. On the other hand, people who are confident and elegant wear clothes in black, white, or grey. If you may have noticed, a woman who exudes in confidence is most likely to wear clothes in these shades. Of course, we also cannot discount the fact that there are those who are apt to be very dark and mysterious who also wear black, complete with matching dark makeup and gothic accessories.
