Why bother making Lean HR work?

Friday, May 8, 2009 by Exact Hire
These are times that get irritating when all of the pressures start to mount.  Our personal reserves vanish when we are under stress,  and now we are all poster children for acting snippy and crabby.

We all need to get the answer, and fast.  That's where Lean comes in. The whole point with Lean is making things simple, eliminating waste and getting better results, fast.  That is exactly what we all want, yet we often just add another layer of stuff on the top of a pile of earlier stuff.  Over time, it all just collapses from it's own weight.

In all of the work I do, I seldom see people who are willing to go back to a clean sheet of paper and start fresh.  The joy of Lean is looking at the pile of stuff that has built up over the years, and getting rid of the pile and doing it right for right now.

Let me repeat that - doing it right, for right now.

We need new answers and the questions are getting tricky.

Who has 'em?  Try the Lean Blog.  Better yet, read the entry on Why Lean Hates HR

My vision of the future is simple - back to basics in our organizations and families, our diets, and our life.  In the work I do in assessments and applicant tracking, I get a chance to change the world of the organizations in my life, which is truly wonderful. 

Beyond my family, my other passion is getting a new way of thinking into the organizations on this world.  If we make things simpler and better, good will come from it.

So, a question.  What will you change first?  I will be keeping you in the loop...
