Six Sigma Project Out Sourcing Are The Good Guys

Six Sigma Projects are being out sourced by many companies for several reasons. A few consist of the lack of ability to fund training for their own employees and/or they really feel the out sourcing company will do a better job. However, what the manager of company owner might not know, is that this decision sends a strong message that could indicate lack of trust in their own employees.

The term 'job security' has become an oxymoron in today's unemployment plagued society. Many loyal and dedicated employees - many whom have spent the majority of their lives with one company, now face the possibility of a pink slip on their desks when they arrive at work each morning. A troubled economy and lack of business for companies is creating a stressful workplace environment for employees who worry that each day might be their last. Arriving at work and finding an outsourced team working on Six Sigma projects can be intimidating. It can instill a fear and anxiety of possible unemployment, but this fear may be unwarranted.

Many companies having budget troubles in tough times know that Six Sigma training can be very expensive, but they still need the expertise in order to remain competitive and grow and is the primary reason for outsourcing the work that already trained and certified Six Sigma professionals can do now, instead of trying to train their own employees to do the job. Six Sigma team pros are not looking to take any ones job, but are looking to help keep every current employee working for many more years. They will initiate necessary changes within the company to make it more efficient and cost effective and better utilize the resources without making deeper employment cuts.

It is natural to be suspicious of things you don't understand and fear, in the right circumstance. However, the trained Six Sigma Project teams will address the areas of change that will be taking place to everyone at the company, so no one will be in the dark and put worries to rest as well as show stress the exit door. Being on the same page is very important for the projects to be a success and the S.S. teams know how important this information is to everyone. Knowing that a out sourcing company is actually working hard to help save your job is great for morale.

Six Sigma training for a company's employees is an expense that some companies cannot afford when business is slow. Outsourcing the work to a professional team is sometimes the only cost- effective solution to saving a company from closing. This option, when misunderstood by employees, can seem at first glance, that employees are being replaced. A brief staff meeting can be held to explain the situation thereby alleviating any fears employees might have about their job security and their futures. Professional Six Sigma teams can help to save jobs and a company's resources by completing a particular project that would require Six Sigma in less time than it would take to train an entire staff in Six Sigma processes. They are here to help.
