The Six Sigma Green Belt Certification with HR concentration was developed exclusively for the Management and Strategy Institute. It is designed to give the student a solid understanding of Six Sigma principles and teach you how to effectively work within a Six Sigma team.
HR professionals have an important role within Six Sigma. They may assist the project champion and company stakeholders in identifying employees to fill specific project roles and responsibilities. Depending on the size and scope of the project, they may even lead portions of the project in a green belt or black belt capacity.
The role of Human Resources within a project is often times similar to the day-to-day operations of an HR department. Within a project a certified Green belt in HR may work to select and retain employees for the project. They also help ensure the team functions effectively and helps to create the appropriate six sigma culture. This means making sure employees know how to work as a team, stay on schedule, and remain customer-focused.
Change management is also an important part of an HR professionals role. Six Sigma projects often mean major changes to the way processes work within an organization. People are naturally opposed to change, so having change management skills will be critical to the success of the overall project. Being part of the Six Sigma team the HR professional can be proactive and help employees, and the organizations, stay ahead of the change process. This is done by using constant communication to all levels of the company.
This program covers the operational roles and integration requirements that Human Resources (HR) provide, both within an organization to support Six Sigma projects and initiatives and within HR to support its own Six Sigma projects and improvements.
We also offer our Six Sigma Green Belt Certified (SSGBC)™ course for those who do not want their certification to have an HR concentration.
