HR standards lay the foundation for organizational success. Recently, a ruling from SEC has required organizations now submit Human Capital Management Disclosures to help stakeholders make informed investment decisions. The adoption of ISO standards (specifically ISO 30414 Human Capital Reporting) is believed by many CFOs to create a safe harbor for the recent ruling. Beyond this, HR standards help organizations ensure their processes and outcomes reflect effective and efficient use of human resources. As such, the standards also: Harmonize internal practices with organizational objectives, guiding human behavior within the organization. Provide opportunities to adapt and adopt practices to increase efficiency and return value to the organization. Allow leaders to analyze, learn from and objectively compare practices with other organizations across national boundaries and industry sectors. Promote awareness of policy among all stakeholders, providing additional support for HR practices. Create an internal and external community of HR practices that favor mutual understanding and better efficiency through a common practice. Organizations can improve workplace management and practices by adopting and implementing the ISO TC 260 series of HR standards. Moreover, organizations will see a return in value through increased involvement and engagement, thereby positively impacting the performance of the whole organization.
