Let's look at history behind date, significance and theme of World Quality Day 2019.
What Is the History of World Quality Day?
The first World Quality was observed in 2008. The inaugural year saw people discuss the value of quality at a forum where innovation, inspiration, and creative ideas were shared and discussed. In subsequent years, World Quality Day drew more attention and even more participation from across the world.
In World Quality Day 2010, the organisers set the debut theme of the mega event as ‘Out of the Crisis’. In 2011, the theme of World Quality Day was ‘In Pursuit of Excellence’. In the subsequent year 2012, the theme was kept as ‘Quality: Delivering Competitive Advantage’.
The annual events are based on quality and how much of a difference does it make when it comes to work. Last year at World Quality Day 2018, the theme was set as ‘Quality: A Question of Trust’.
What Is the Significance of World Quality Day?
World Quality Day is an awareness day which is celebrated with much joy. Workplaces across the places organise seminars, workshops, presentations, competitions in the context of quality. As per the Chartered Quality Institute – founder of this event – the quality of a professional can be defined through 5 attributes, namely governance, assurance, improvement, leadership, and context.
