Human Resources Best Practices Mini-Assessment Tool

Great companies strive to reduce waste, increase flexibility, and decrease lead times while still providing their customers with high-quality products by employing a variety of lean manufacturing techniques. How does your company compare against the best? Take our mini-assessment to find out!

Everyone understands the mission and goals of the entire organization and how their job fits into the whole.

We communicate with each other frequently and in a variety of ways.

We only hire people who fit our company culture and want to do this kind of work.

We don't make hiring decisions based on just one person's opinion.

We have high expectations of everyone because you get what you expect.

We care about our people. Human considerations underlie every policy decision.

Our managers spend time with workers and LISTEN to what they have to say.

Fear is minimized, experimentation is encouraged, and mistakes are learning opportunities in our organization.

Management's trust in all employees is reinforced by allowing decisions and discretionary authority, and by giving up time clocks, probation periods, and locked supply cabinets.

Management never lies and always delivers bad news in person.

We have a system of justice for fairly handling complaints and unfair practices.

We continually raise the bar and remove those that can't or won't perform.

Everyone here knows each other by name.

We encourage our people to have fun at work.

We find out what people want with regard to benefits by asking them for their input.

Our managers are resources, not obstructions. They stay out of the way of their employees and let them DO their jobs, without looking over their shoulders.

Our employees sell how good our company is to job applicants and newer employees.

Our management walks the talk! They demonstrate the integrity, skills, and interpersonal relations expected of all employees.

Our employees have a portion of their pay at risk.

Training goals are clear before training begins. Trainees write or present a summary afterwards of how they intend to use the information learned.
