How can each employee's strengths be identified and built upon?

How should training activities be scheduled, launched, and tracked?

How can employee turnover best be minimized?

How can work force performance best be maximized?

The Pedigree

Each year, the President of the United States presents the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award to a small number of organizations. The award, established by Congress in 1987, is the nation's highest honor for management excellence.

A gifted quality engineer and management expert, David J. McClaskey, set up the initial Baldrige Award judging procedures, for which he received an "Outstanding Service to the Nation" award from the Commerce Department. He went on to assist such companies as Eastman Chemical, Ritz-Carlton Hotels, Operations Management International, and Pal's Sudden Service to win the Baldrige Award. He helped Florida Power & Light to win Japan's prestigious Deming Award.

It was at Pal's Sudden Service, the 2001 Baldrige winner, that McClaskey brought his Baldrige-based management concepts to full fruition. Working with Pal's CEO Thom Crosby, the group developed creative and ingenious People Resource Management systems, which led to eye-popping results. In such categories as customer satisfaction, employee turnover, sales growth, and profitability, Pal's has consistently outpaced both its industry and its best competitors.

It is these People Resource Management systems which are incorporated into Sysdine.

The Concept

There is a strong common thread in Pal's and McClaskey's concepts. And that is the belief that employees, their abilitie,s and their attitudes are the key determinants of virtually every performance measurement, from sales and market share, customer satisfaction, productivity and quality, to operating profitability and growth potential.

And from that belief comes the conclusion that powerful People Resource Management (PRM) tools and processes should be directed toward strengthening the abilities and attitudes of a company's People Resources.

In other words, People Resources affect everything. And People Resource Management tools affect people, and their abilities, and their attitudes.

The best of these People Resources Management tools and processes are incorporated into Sysdine.
