The True Lean culture can improve productivity, profitability and team member morale.  But many organizations struggle with the people side of "True Lean" – getting team member buy-in.   The "True Lean" culture also can improve retention rates – saving the organization the time and cost associated with recruiting and developing new team members.

The University of Kentucky offers a half-day session on "True Lean" HR Management Development.

During this session, participants will receive a high-level overview of the people side of "True Lean".  The session offers three areas of focus:

Leadership Thinking Ways
What is the appropriate lean leadership styles at all levels?

Company and Team Member Mutual Understanding of Needs
Do your team members share the sense of values that equates corporate prosperity to corporate satisfaction?

Four Essentials to Mutual Trust and Success
Does your company culture create the right environment for lean?

The session is four hours in length and led by Pete Gritton, former VP of Human Resources at Toyota Motor Engineering and Manufacturing, North America.  Pete was one of Toyota’s first North American hires and he recently retired after 22 years of service.
