In the modern era, Six Sigma implementation in Human Resource Management Practices has played an essential role in the development and growth of an organisation (Kaswan & Rathi 2019). However, it is evident from most of the studies that Six Sigma implementation in HRM has significantly helped the organisations in providing a quality and value outcome (Yadav, Seth & Desai, 2018; Vaishnavi & Suresh, 2020). Likely Yadav, Seth and Desai (2018) in their study indicated that Six Sigma implementation helps HR through providing excellence in the process of day to day delivery and reducing the number of defects. In addition, the implementation of Six Sigma also helps the management in solving the queries, and in recording employees’ data and information (Kaswan & Rathi 2019). Similarly, Vaishnavi and Suresh (2020) in another study indicated that Six Sigma implementation help HR in recording accurate employee data, and it helps in detecting and minimising the errors. Moreover, it also helps HR to use the resources effectively and efficiently. Thus, from the prior studies, it has been identified that Six Sigma implementation plays an essential role in HRM practice, and it helps the organisation to mitigate the number of errors and defects.
