Small Improvements Add Up

Kaizen, translated literally, means good change. Kaizens represent a philosophy whereby organizations, and the individuals within it, undertake small, incremental,continual improvements of all aspects of organizational life.

A kaizen program encourages employees to spot and implement improvements around the workplace, no matter how small. Not only does this program put a systematic method in place that implements and communicates employees suggestions for improvements, resulting in a more productive workplace, it also

• Creates an atmosphere were employee suggestions are valued
• Makes employees more vigilant in looking for improvements
• Creates awareness that even small improvements are important
• Provides a system where such improvements are communicated to other employees
