21st century is knowledge and service oriented economy, in
which the old mantra of “cash is king” has been replaced
with “talent is king and cash is queen”. ISO celebrates
“World Standards Day” on 14 Oct every year. History of
standards is quite old for manufacturing however ISO HR
Standards is a new beginning to ensure objectivity,
transparency and quality of HR services to better serve
needs employer, employee and other stakeholders in the
society. HR standards will have far reaching implications for
companies operating/aspiring to operate in global
business market.
Pakistan has the honor of being among first 11 Permanent
“P” Member countries in the world who became member of
ISO Technical Committee 260 for developing HR Standards.
Initial Committee comprised of US, UK, France, Germany,
Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, Norway, Netherlands and
Portugal. Extensive work has been done on HR standards
during past 4 years meetings at Washington, Melbourne,
Rotterdam and Paris. Emerging HR standards include
Human Governance, Strategic Workforce Planning,
Recruitment, HR Terminologies, HR Metrics and Knowledge
Management.
Pakistan National Committee HR Standards comprises of
Chief Human Resource Officers from large organizations. I
congratulate all members especially its Working Group on
“Performance Management” for developing first HR
standard. This is a great accomplishment in history of HR in
Pakistan and I hope that organizations will benefits from
this standard.

About ISO
What is a Standard
ISO is a legal association of members of National Standards
Bodies of 140 countries, supported by a Central Secretariat based
in Geneva, Switzerland. The foremost aim of international
standardization is to facilitate the exchange of goods and services
through the elimination of technical barriers to trade. ISO
develops International Standards for all industry sectors (with the
exception of electro technology, covered by IEC, and
telecommunications, covered by ITU). ISO has developed over
18500 International Standards on a variety of subjects and
approximately 1100 new standards are published every year.
A standard is a document that provides requirements,
specifications, guidelines or characteristics that can be used
consistently to ensure that materials, products, processes and
services are fit for their purpose.
?ISO International Standards ensure that products and
services are safe, reliable and of good quality.
?For business, they are strategic tools that reduce costs by
minimizing waste and errors, and increasing productivity.
?They help companies to access new markets, level the
playing field for developing countries and facilitate free and
fair global trade.

ISO Technical Committee 260 HR Standards
HR Standards
With a view to promote consistency and standardize the workforce management
practices in terms of responsibilities and performance expectations, during year
2011, ISO initiated standardization of HR and formed a Technical Committee ISO TC
260 to pursue the project. ISO TC 260 HR Standards initially comprised of 11
Permanent “P” Member countries including US, France, Germany, Sweden,
Switzerland, Austria, Norway, Netherland, Portugal and Pakistan. Currently the
Permanent member countries have increased to 24 and 18 Observer “O” countries.
SHRM Forum Pakistan is representing Pakistan at ISO TC 260. Details at
HR standards will specify the minimum effective approaches, measurements and
metrics to perform essential workforce management practices. It will also include
standardization of the certification of practitioners based upon elements of
education, examination, experience and ethical conduct. The standardization
processes will extend to all fields of HRM including Workforce Planning, Talent
Sourcing, Recruitment, Selection, Retrenchment, Training and Development, Job
Analysis, Job Design, Organizational Development, HRIS, Performance Appraisal,
Total Rewards, Employee Relations, Legislative and Regulatory compliance, Change
Management, Diversity and Inclusion Management, Expatriate Management, HR
Communications, Workforce Readiness and Sustainability, Leadership Development,
HR Shared Services, Metrics, Analytics, Professional Certification, Wellness and
Work/Life Balance Programs, HR Aspects of Alliances, Joint Ventures, Mergers and
Acquisitions, HR Terminology and Nomenclatures.

5. Benefits of HR Standards
The standardization will offer broad, coordinating guidance to HR practitioners and harmonize disparate practices for the
benefit of organizations and their employees. It will boost local economy by removal of barriers to trade, better
international market access, more business efficiency, flexible, cost-effective means of complying with international and
regional rules/conventions and improved employee satisfaction. Some additional perceived benefits of HR
standardization include:
?Talent in developing countries will have increased access to job opportunities elsewhere due to interoperable
workforce staffing practices.
?Multinational companies will be able to share talent and labor more quickly and with less risk of loss and fewer errors.
Labor markets will become true marketplaces, where commonly understood forms of transaction will be employee
competencies, complete and timely information, and virtual/flexible working arrangements; forming talent
exchanges analogous to stock exchange transactions.
?HR Management Systems from different organizations will be able to transact without encountering the data transfer
barriers among diverse software applications.
?Standardized HR processes will reduce paper documentation, and would promote telecommuting and distance
learning further reducing the carbon footprint created by business travel needs and redundant administrative
workforce practices.
?It will increase employee satisfaction and labor peace as job-to-employee alignment is better achieved through
consistent and effective management practices.
?Consistency in HR practices will reduce the cost of investigations and other regulatory responsibilities of government
agencies and ministries charged with overseeing workplace practices.
?The cost of managing employees will reduce as workforce management approaches will align with the standards and
economies of scale can be applied, across sectors, in relocation, benefits, compensation and other HR functions.
?Business leaders would finally have a means to measure the value of the intangible assets including HR. The
transparency of HR practices will enhance their reputation, improve employee morale, lower labor turnover, decrease
accidents, enhance product quality and foster greater consumer and investor confidence.
?Employees' expectations for treatment and opportunity within organizations would be better understood by all
parties and his or her competencies and other assets would be portable as he or she transfers among organizations.
Whether skilled or unskilled, employees would be incentivized to improve their capability and to trade them across
borders to willing employers.
?The cost of products and services would likely reduce due to an increase in efficiency of acquisition, transfer, and
maintenance of talent, thus benefiting consumer.
?Above potential benefits will enhance the credibility of HR profession.
