Introduction

The Barbelo Group is a one stop Human Resources Outsourcing, Staffing and Consulting

firm. It is the only outsource and consulting HR organization in the industry to apply Six

Sigma methodologies to Human Resources Management. The combination of Six

Sigma and Human Resources give employers:

More time to run their business,

Less HR cost to reinvest back to their organization and

Less deficiencies to avoid legal and employee issues.

The ability to measure and improve quality in Human Resources has been the

competitive advantage of successful organizations for decades. However, the

development of a highly effective and productive HR organization is both time

consuming and expensive.

in-house. Companies will get the benefits of having a highly capable HR organization

consisting of high caliber staff through the Barbelo Group. Employers can finally plan

and forecast their annual HR cost by developing a customized HR outsourcing or

consulting package focused on their organization’s goals and needs.

Barbelo Group has over 20 years’ experience in human resources, organization

development, technology integration / implementation and Six Sigma Lean.

Headquartered in Seattle and locations in London (Europe) and Singapore (Asia), The

Barbelo Group’s strategy is a good “fit” with the world-class coaching and facilitation

practice with its global alliance partners. The Barbelo Group has access to a significant

body of intellectual property and deep expertise held by The Barbelo Group.
