Since its inception in 2011, global experts from 28 countries have actively engaged in the development of global HR standards that can be adopted by organizations, regardless of country or company size and complexity.
ISO TC 260, formed in 2011, is responsible for the development of a series of standards for human resource management processes and practices. There are 19 standards and technical specifications published, with 13 more under development. One of the most noteworthy standards from this work is ISO 30414 Human Capital Reporting which many chief financial officers believe is a safe harbor for the recent ruling from the SEC requiring Human Capital Management Disclosures.
Dr. Sandy Miles, SPHR, GPHR, former HRCI board member, and HRCI CEO Amy Dufrane have worked together closely, leading the charge by representing HRCI. Former HRCI Board Chair and current HRCI Board Member, Mr. Jim Lewis, SPHR, GPHR will remain the ISO TC260 Board Chair until the end of his term.

A new global standard providing a framework for diversity & inclusion has been published. ISO 30415:2021 presents fundamental prerequisites for D&I, associated accountabilities and responsibilities, recommended actions, suggested measures and potential outcomes. It recognizes that each organization is different and that decision makers need to determine the most appropriate approach to embedding D&I in their organization, based on the organization’s context and any disruptive challenges that emerge.
Participating in setting the ISO Global HR standards are open to all who are interested and materially affected by HR standards activities. Each representative is an expert in their national standards organization and a contributor to their profound knowledge of respective subjects to efforts of the TC and its Working Groups. Thirty-three countries are actively participating in the work of this committee, with 25 observing.
While participants can earn HRCI recertification credit and have the opportunity to network and exchange knowledge with others working on global HR management standards, they need to meet certain requirements.

HRCI is now the International Secretariat for the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Technical Committee (TC) 260 on Human Resource Management. The leadership of Global Standards under the ISO umbrella allows HRCI to continue to serve its HR professionals and organizations as they continue toward excellence in HR Management.
HRCI is responsible for providing leadership, technical, and administrative services to ISO TC 260, acting in a purely international capacity, divesting itself of a national point of view. More specifically the secretariat is responsible for the following:
A collection of best practices, guidelines, customs, experiences, and practical solutions that are collaboratively and voluntarily developed through consensus and regularly revisited and revised.
TC, or Technical Committee, 260 for Human Resource Management is a composed of representatives from various national standards bodies, such as the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), which create a strategic business plan to address areas where HRM standards could be beneficial.
With the right approach, including global standards, HRM can be more than just a cost center for any business. It can be an instrument to create and maintain real business value.
It’s tough to compare HRM practices without standards. Some measure new hires from: Measure from date of “slot” creation. Measure from date of posting. Measure from date of first application received.
