Ripe4 Resourcing: Six Sigma Recruitment in an Economic Downturn

London, United Kingdom, April 27, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Where does Six Sigma and Six Sigma Recruitment stand as the impact of the credit crunch ricochets around the globe? Over the past few years practically every blue chip has chosen to engage some form of change program. In the world of finance, most heavily affected by the breakdown in the sub prime lending market, almost every banking organisation and insurance company of note has developed a BPR initiative in recent times. Often labelled a Six Sigma initiative, though frequently and successfully embracing aspects of Lean typically the preserve of ‘the manufacturing shop floor’, the practice of lean transferred as a formidable addition to the six sigma tool set, gaining prevalence and success in bringing about change and improvements throughout the transactional service sector whilst still continuing to have a big impact on business operations.

In times of hardship and a downturn in economic buoyancy as we are seeing at present with the advent of the UK recession, there is no better time to begin applying common sense through undertaking a change initiative of cost saving and waste reduction. As Tom Pemberton Principal Six Sigma Recruiter for leading UK and European Six Sigma recruiters Ripe4.com explains, “When things start looking gloomy companies, like people, need to reign in their spending. By companies weeding out unnecessary costs and ensuring their service or product offering is processed in the least wasteful way they can have a greater chance of remaining competitive and profitable when times are hard. The removal of unnecessary waste, such as overuse of paper can also have extra benefit to the environment as well as giving your company and the Lean Six Sigma practitioners work an eco friendly shine. As far as our work as recruiters is concerned, the work of the Six Sigma Black Belt, Master Black Belt and Lean Sigma professional looks to continue in earnest for the foreseeable future and it is likely many more organisations will be adopting a business change program in the face of further economic gloom.”

Companies with a proven track record in staffing successful Six Sigma initiatives such as Ripe4 Resourcing Ltd are able to help assist those who are either looking to begin, or compliment an existing six sigma or business change program. Let common sense prevail in the face of economic adversity.
