Critical questions

1. How many of you would like to eat in a restaurant without standards?

2. Or stay in a hotel without standards?

3. Or send your child to a school (or pre-school) without standards?

4. Or get operated in a hospital without any standards?

5. Or drive a car without standards?

6. Or use an airline without standards?

Then when it comes to HR …

Why do we continue to manage people and govern

the most precious part of our organisations (i.e. people)

without standards?

Top facts about HR• Human Capital is the biggest concern for CEOs

(PwC).• Only 18% of CEOs feel confident that they have

the right people in place to execute strategy (CEB).

• Human Capital is the biggest risk in business (HCI Africa).

• Skills crisis is the top obstacle to economic growth.

• Strikes cost SA R 200 million+ per day.

More facts about HR• SA losing R12 billion a year due to absenteeism.• Only 19% auditors feel they use HR optimally (CG

Index – Institute of Internal Auditors)• Only 5% employees understand business strategy.• World-wide 13% of employees actively engaged.• Companies with engaged employees outperform

others by 202% (Dale Carnegie).• Companies with good HR Practices outperform others

by treating HR as critical business function, these companies are 105% more profitable.

• Average ROI on wellness programmes: 300%.

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, Medupi.• Raising the bar for the HR profession and

business impact.

Myths about standards

• Impose an onerous compliance regime

• Duplicate best practices

• Our company is so unique syndrome

• Standards stifle innovation

• Take flexibility away

• Ignore industry differences

• Too practical, not based on theory/research

• Standards are cast in stone

The reality is …

Types of standards

• Unit standards / Curriculum standards

• Service delivery standards

• Competence standards

• Metrics/benchmarking standards

• Professional practice standards

• Business/industry/process/system standards - ISO

Global approaches to standards

• Production and safety lead – ISO standards

• Professional standards – accounting

• Top global companies – their own standards

• Canada – HR Standards & Metrics

• UK – Human Capital Standard (BSI/CIPD)

• ISO HR project started

• South African National HR Standards

• HR Standards in Namibia

It all started on 21 May 2013 with 13 Standard facilitators

468 HR Leaders developing HR Standards for South Africa

drive the initiative and deliver• Competency model needed for capacity• Functional excellence vs overall system• Communication and engagement

Conclusion

Thank you for joining us today at the 2nd Annual National HR Standards Roll-out. We appreciate the

contribution of all participants over the last year.

We have made good progress over the last year to develop and launch the National HR Standards (from phase 1 to 3). The phase 3 standards will

strengthen the HR Management System.

We are ready for the next milestone on the journey and that is to audit HR functions against the HR

Standards.
