An organization’s biggest asset is its people, so measuring their contribution and how best to invest in them is essential for business success. ISO 30414, Human resource management – Guidelines for internal and external human capital reporting, is the first International Standard that allows an organization to get a clear view of the actual contribution of its human capital and report on it. A series of technical specifications for the individual metrics required by ISO 30414 is now complete, with the final five just published.

The comprehensive 13-part series covers a wide range of comparable measures related to human resource management, applicable for internal and external reporting. They include everything from occupational health and safety to turnover, retention and organizational culture.

These technical specifications include:

ISO/TS 24178, Human resource management – Organizational culture metrics cluster, looks at the drivers of a good company culture with a committed and engaged workforce, and ways to measure it. It includes elements such as a clear organizational purpose and values, hiring practices and more.

It also enables competitor benchmarking within and across sectors.

The series of technical specifications, as well as ISO 30414, were developed by ISO technical committee ISO/TC 260, Human resource management, whose secretariat is held by ANSI, ISO’s member for the USA. They can be purchased from www.cys.org.cy or the ISO Store.
