Top 6 reasons to get Six Sigma Certification

Why has there been a huge increase in the number of people securing six sigma certification? There are probably many market drivers such as a need to design more stable processes within both manufacturing and service organisations. This has become very important as companies continuously try to lower their costs in any way possible.

The question could possibly be better reframed to ask the following... are companies investing in six sigma certification in order to become more competitive or are employees persuading their employers to provide them with six sigma training, in tools such as DMAIC and the six sigma approach to project management so that they can gain better six sigma opportunities elsewhere?

Nevertheless  the following 6 reasons are just some of the top reasons to get Six Sigma Certification (from both a personal and company point of view):

1. You get confirmation that you meet the industry standard when it comes to Six Sigma
2. From a personal point of view it can bring you recognition amongst your peers and also prestige within your company
3. Your CV will be more quantifiable in terms of six sigma knowledge to potential new employers
4. It can possibly lead to new responsibilities or opportunities which will increase your job satisfaction. You may even amaze your colleagues, and yourself, with your increased productivity
5. Your organisation will be seen as one that values it's employees and this can create a good company brand
6. It goes without saying that you are personally developing and so your skills and knowledge will increase. This can only help increase your mobility and security depending on what you want to do.
