Yes, they do, and I also believe so.
I found this article on Articles Bridge via Six Sigma Zone, and it discusses how HR and Six Sigma can work together and achieve the desired results.
This is how:
- HR can help in forming the Six Sigma team.
- HR can assist in creating job descriptions for candidates of each team member.
- HR can ensure that Black Belts and the team get training in teamwork, conflict management and personal communication skills.
- HR professionals, with their project management education and analytical skills, can help play a major role in strategic, operational and administrative activities of Six Sigma projects.
- HR professionals can use the Six Sigma methodology in risk areas, where safety and health issues are a priority.
In other words, both Six Sigma and HR involve people, teams, and team work. While HR specializes in making people or human resource function well, Six Sigma can provide the tool to enhance it. Thus, I see no reason for the two to not being able to work successfully together.
