Many companies attempted to implement this methodology and got backward in middle of the process or beginning due to the challenges in implementing Six Sigma in HRM. Measurability of a process depends on the perception of an individual HR person; this is mainly due to the non-measurable nature of HR processes. Most of the organizations not considered Human resources as human capitaland as a major line function in their organizations.This research paper studies the challenges of Six Sigma implementation in Human Resource Management and finds critical success factors for successful implementation of Six Sigma in human resource management with respect to Information technology companies.
