Hello All,
I have recently joined FIS Global around end of April. My mother recently met with an accident and she needs to be operated.
I haven't been able to update the anything regarding the insurance part yet on FIS portal.
Will my mother's treatment be covered under the insurance? If yes, what's the procedure for the same? What are the documents that I need to submit in order to claim the amount?
Can anyone please guide?

Careful guys...
God that is the most buzz-wordy thing I’ve ever heard
As a non-data scientist, I appreciate DS’s rage.
Every time I have some PMO slide jockey find the one 30-minute free slot on my calendar in a given day to set some bullshit meeting to talk about their weekly status deck, I silently curse how broadly we toss around the term “consultant”.
I have a LSSBB. It helped getting roles specifically in process improvement and I did see a significant bump in pay in my very next role. If you want to be a project manager, you may not see as big of a jump, but if you plan to go into consulting or into Process Improvement/Process Re-engineering/ Corporate Transformation, then yeah it is worth it.
You’ve given me some things to think about.
I am CSSBB through ASQ and got it after my first job in industry requires it. I think it helps break down problems and aids me in solving and thinking out of the box. My current client is very heavy with SS and agile so it helps that as a manger, I have those credentials to help lead our team the way the client would expect it to be led.
I actually don’t know anyone else at the firm that is a CSSBB, I think it’s a unique trait in our sub line.
I am a LSSBB. I got it because the roles I was applying for listed as a requirement. In real life, however, I don't feel I was less effective in project management in applying lean ways of doing things before I got certified. Despite all of it, I've not been able to land a process improvement type role so far.
It's ASQ accredited
I have a green belt and felt nothing gained from it other than personal interest, Most employers didn’t seem to care
I got it six sigma black belt in 2005 when it was in demand. It got me interviews that I otherwise may not have gotten without it (and subsequent job offer with my first consulting company) other than that, I never used it. So in essence I spent 6k out of my pocket to get noticed. Having a six sigma is not important for consulting...there’s hardly any projects that require it, even then you’re competing with boutiques that specialize in this or companies handle this in house.
Lean six sigma is a great way of thinking. It is what first gave me a consultative mindset and helped me become an “internal consultant” in industry. My first consulting role was an explicit LSSBB role. After that I’ve done roles that were more general management consultant in nature... I draw upon the LSS toolset selectively but not rigorously. It is rare that a client wants the rigor of a cradle to grave DMAIC project and has the time and patience for the many months it can take. One thing I often ponder now, 14 years after my LSS certification, is if my data analysis skills are less state of the art in light of all the new “data science” and “analytics” which are taking consulting by storm, and which I haven’t stayed current on.
