14. 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.

15. The role of HR …

16. Types of standards
• Unit standards / Curriculum standards
• Service delivery standards
• Competence standards

17. Global approaches to standards
• Production and safety lead – ISO standards
• Professional standards – accounting
• Top global companies – their own standards
• Canada – HR Standards & Metrics
