Four Star Toilets

I have been to China regularly over the last 10 years. Every visit always does not cease to amaze me. From a backward country 25 years ago, it has managed to become a roaring powerhouse. Visit their top 20 cities, and you can almost get a feeling that it looks as slick as any top Asian city. Moreover, every few months, you practically see the skyline changed.
One of the persistent things that they definitely need to improve are the toilets. A friend 
commented that over ten years ago, you don’t need directions to go to a toilet. You only need your nose to smell your way to it. Surely, it has improved. One of the ways, as is done in a country who espoused processes on everything is to ‘grade’ the toilet, and hold it up to the grade standard.
Here we see that there are toilets that are graded 4 star ( internally I am sure that there are standards then that the people maintaining it will have to follow), and here are toilets that are graded 3 star. Maybe the best way to improve is to make the grade visible and make the people responsible hold it to that standard. Is that how we improve also all areas of our operations, including HR?

HR? I’m afraid HR cannot be improved… sorry. Hey, I may be an IT guy, but I work within HR at the moment. The purpose of most HR groups is to ensure that employees can’t become too expensive via pay raises, termination problems or health issues.

China is great for tourists like you and business people who grease palms and have money, and for the ruling Red Party Officers. The rest of the Chinese never see those four-star toilets unless they are cleaning them.

I think initially it seems businessmen are benefitting from China’s rise. But like the water whose rise benefits all ships, China is eleating poverty at a speed never before seen in history.
The most significant thing about its emergence is the rise of a strong middle class, predicted to be hundreds of millions strong.
