To achieve excellence in quality is now the top priority of organizations across the globe. From conformance to standards, quality has now transcended to customer satisfaction. While many have established continuous quality improvement tools, there is not much evidence on innovation- and creativity-backed quality pursuits of organizations. To ensure innovative and creative quality improvement, organizations are required to embrace various Human Resource Management (HRM) practices. Such HR practices hand help organizations to involve all cross-sections of employees in achieving excellence through continuous quality improvement and at the same time lend support to institutionalizing the culture of innovation and creativity. This chapter investigates the innovative quality improvement strategies of two SMEs in India, which helped them in achieving business results even in a competitive economy. Both the organizations have substantial stake in the domestic and export markets. Both the organizations, despite their less competitive pay and benefits compared to other domestic and international level competitors, through their excellent HR practices, could successfully institutionalize innovative and creative quality improvement culture.

BACKGROUND: Supporting employment consultants in their work with job seekers is critical for increasing the employment outcomes of people with disabilities. OBJECTIVE: To better understand how to leverage data for supporting employment consultants, including what metrics to track, what to do with the data, and what can be improved. METHODS: A panel of three directors of employment programs addressed these questions as part of the Association of People Supporting Employment First (APSE) 2020 conference. RESULTS: Most employment service providers collect data for billing and compliance reporting. Innovative providers leverage data for quality improvement. CONCLUSIONS: Tracking metrics designed specifically for monitoring the implementation of effective employment supports is key for leveraging data for continuous quality improvement and thus improving job seekers’ employment outcomes.

Healthcare organizations engage in continuous quality improvement to improve performance and value-for-performance, but the pathway to change is often rooted in challenging the way things are “normally” done. In an effort to propel system-wide change to support healthy eating, Nova Scotia Health developed and implemented a healthy eating policy as a benchmark to create a food environment supportive of health. This article describes the healthy eating policy and its role as a benchmark in the quality improvement process. The policy, rooted in health promotion, sets a standard for healthy eating and applies to stakeholders both inside and outside of health. We explain how the policy offers nutrition but also cultural benchmarks around healthy eating, bringing practitioners throughout Nova Scotia Health together and sustaining collaborative efforts to improve upon the status quo.
