Importance of ethics

Why standards ?

The chair that you're sitting on, or the desk your computer is perched on, are held together by bolts and screws.

Humble bolts and screws also hold together our children's bicycles - and also the aircraft we trust our lives to during business trips or holiday travel.

The diversity of screw threads used to represent big problems for industry, particularly in maintenance, as lost or damaged nuts and bolts could not easily be replaced. A global solution is supplied in the ISO standards for metric screw threads.

The credit card you may have used to buy your holiday can be used worldwide because all its basic features are based on ISO standards.

We are so familiar with many objects, like credit or telephone cards, that we tend to assume they just "fell out of the sky". In fact, the ease with which we can use them can be traced back to an ISO standard.

Today standard users account for 78% of the FTSE 100, 53% of the Nikkei, and 44% of both the Fortune 500 and Hang Seng listed companies.

Operational Management Consistency in the

Management of People

One of the toughest things to be is consistent

Globally standards are a framework for consistency &

continuous improvement and managing risk through

controls

“Consistency is far better than rare moments of greatness “

Strengthening the human factor in management systems

Global approaches to standards

• Production and safety lead – ISO standards

• Professional standards – accounting

• Top global companies – their own standards

• Canada – HR Standards & Metrics

• USA – HR Metrics (SHRM)

• ISO HR project started

• South African National HR Standards

Why a national HR Standard?

• We need to improve the quality of HR

practice.

• HR will not be seen as a true profession

without standards.

• Inconsistencies – practices, sites, business

units, companies, industries.

• Too many bad examples of things going

wrong – Marikana, De Doorns, Medupi.

• Raising the bar for the HR profession and

business impact.

framework.

collect and report on agreed people management metrics.

13.3.3 Develop and implement an HR scorecard.

SABPP (2013)

measurement & reporting framework

be required to hold line accountable for performance of

teams and determine how reports will be tabled for

management control.

• Ensure that reporting on metrics include normal

organisational management reporting at all levels.

forecasting, scenario building, predictions.

• Data collected should enable ROI or Return on

Expectation ratios to evaluate programmes.

13.3.2 Set up management systems and

resource HR function to collect and report on

agreed people management metrics

• Scale and depth of HR measurement and reporting will be constrained

by the resources available.

• Credibility and utility of HR reporting depends on accurate and

complete data capture.

• Control systems including internal and external audits should be in

place to ensure data integrity.

• Careful definition of each metric is important.

• A detailed flow chart should be drawn up to describe data collection,

storage and reporting for each metric.

• One integrated HR data system is recommended.

• Reporting formats should follow the design of other management

reports – clear, simple, visible dashboards.

• Meaningful interpretation of reports requires good knowledge of

organisation and HR practices.

13.3.3 Develop and implement an

HR scorecard

• An HR scorecard selecting key indicators of HR Service

Delivery should be agreed between HR Head and top

management,

• Regular assessment of performance against the

scorecard, in accordance with the normal performance

management process of the organisation, should lead to

identification of areas for improvement and remedial

action.

• Conduct an internal and external audit of the HR function

and people practices of the organisation against the

documented service level agreement, documented HR

practices and HR scorecard.
