Successful organizations leverage on total employee participation to achieve high quality standards in order to satisfy their customers. However, in the Gallup State of the Global Workplace 2021 Report, only 20% of employees are engaged at work.

As part of the TQM movement, Quality Circles (also popularly known as Quality Control Circles) or Small Group Activities consist of a small group of employees from the same workplace who voluntarily meet on a regular basis to identify, investigate, analyze and solve work-related problems so as to contribute to the improvement of the employees, workgroup and the organization.

The benefits of Quality Circle activities include improved employee morale, reduced absenteeism and staff turnover, improved teamwork and communication, increased productivity, and last but not least improved quality of products and services.

This presentation teaches the philosophy and concept of Quality Circles, defines the objectives, benefits and the modus operandi of Quality Circles. It also describes the organizational structure, roles and responsibilities and provides practical tips for managing Quality Circles. The Quality Circles framework is applicable to other Small-Group Activities such as Kaizen Circles, 5S, TPM, Suggestion System, etc.
