Kaizen for Continuous Improvement and Boosting Efficiency at Work

Improve workplace efficiency using kaizen principles - a japanese term emphasises on continual improvement process at work. Kaizen signifies working smarter together and developing best practices so that the workers well-being are looked after. 

The Kaizen journey begins the road to improvement, a road that is sometimes bumpy and sometimes smooth. It is a road that never ends. It is never dull or unchallenged. It is exciting, enlightening and most of all fun! It's a chance to do things in ways that are new to many people. It's a chance for everyone to be recognised, to contribute and to excel.

In the past, one of the complaints commonly heard in an organisation is that "No one ever listens to me when I try to tell them how to fix something." Or "Management thinks we're all a bunch of dummies, and aren't smart enough to make good decisions." Isn't it obvious why workers aren't too eager to submit improvement suggestions when they know they will never be implemented? Kaizen changes the paradigms of management to solicit contributions and suggestions and to implement them while the enthusiasm is high and when the critiques haven't had time to object. 

You can also apply Kaizen concepts to achieve your personal goals whatever they might be!
