What is the 5s framework?

The 5S framework is a business methodology that originated from Japanese manufacturing. It's a system designed to reduce waste and optimize productivity through maintaining an orderly workplace. The 5S stands for Sort (Seiri), Set in order (Seiton), Shine (Seiso), Standardize (Seiketsu), and Sustain (Shitsuke).

Sort involves going through all tools and materials, keeping only the essential ones. Set in order means organizing and identifying the items for easy access. Shine refers to cleaning the workspace to ensure it's tidy and safe. Standardize is about maintaining consistency in carrying out tasks. Lastly, Sustain is about making the 5S a long-term program, keeping it fresh and auditing it regularly.

While it's not directly related to talent attraction or team motivation, it can indirectly contribute by creating a more efficient, productive, and pleasant work environment.
