The improvement of HR management by using Lean

A major challenge for all organizations is to improve efficiency and to ensure continuous improvement. For the HR department this is a double challenge as the HR department itself should meet the requirements of the organizations it serves in an efficient way, and the HR department should be an active partner in promoting and training improvement actions in relation to the main tasks of the organization. Thus the HR department of Statistics Norway for some time has tried to profit from some principles and methods based on Lean in order to improve its own operations.
