HR Professionalism Priorities
Operational Management Consistency in the
Management of People
One of the toughest things to be is consistent
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.
What are standards really?
• A level of acceptable quality
• Good enough in terms of professionalism
• What is good or normal or usual
• A guideline for practice
• A foundation for reasonable expectations
and sound judgement
• A basis for measurement (M&E)
The reality is …

HR Audit - Certification
1st Company Audited
“The audit process was very insightful and enlightening. It
reminded us that we need to make sure that we track every
process we execute from end to end. This allows us to be
able to constantly check and ensure that our processes stay
relevant to the business and people practice standards.”
Kholeka Ngubeni-Henderson, HR Executive
