World Quality Day is celebrated every year around the world in November. The day was designed to increase worldwide awareness of the important contribution that quality makes towards both organisational and national growth, and prosperity.World Quality Day takes place every year on the second Thursday of November. Businesses across the world take part in a variety of activities such as business-wide seminars, presentations, quizzes and competitions at their workplace. Events are usually organised by quality professionals based within organisations and are designed to spread the ‘importance of quality’ message to non-quality professionals.When applied to organisations, the function of quality is to protect and enhance reputations, improve profitability and drive change. Ultimately, quality is an outcome – a characteristic of a product or service provided to a customer, and the hallmark of an organisation which has satisfied all of its stakeholders.

This year theme is: Building A Quality World Together.

For 2014, the theme is ‘Building a Quality World Together’ which focuses on the impact quality professionals make to an organisation.We live in a fast-moving world where failure to manage quality is damaging the reputations and financial returns of major global brands and corporations. Quality contributes more than £90 billion to UK GDP every year. Quality not only reduces waste but also saves lives and save companies millions.More organisations are starting to recognise the importance of quality – a recent survey of company CEOs, Presidents and Chairs said that achieving ‘operational excellence’ is one of the biggest challenges for them.The Chartered Quality Institute publish a series of free resources each year which are for use by professionals looking to promote the day within their business and publicise their World Quality Day events. These free resources include posters, event templates, screen savers and information documents.
