OperationalManagement Consistency in the Management of People 
One of the toughest things to be is consistent
The role of HR …
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
