Resolution 2020: Reduce Waste via Lean Six Sigma for HR Professionals

Resolution 2020:  Reduce waste via Lean Six Sigma for HR Professionals

by CBPD Director Kendall Ross

Lean principles which seek to reduce inefficiencies and thus improve the customer experience, have long since been associated with manufacturing.
