BOARD DESK A NEW ERA FOR HR: SETTING HR STANDARDS FOR SOUTH AFRICA Siphiwe Moyo, Chairman: SABPP Welcome to the Workers’ Day edition of HR Voice. We celebrate worker rights and responsibilities. As you know, SABPP has a new Board, and the new Board members have chartered a new era for HR in South Africa by launching a project to develop the first set of HR standards for South Africa. The purpose of the initiative is to lead and assist HR managers in generating integrated standards and metrics for the HR function aligned to business strategy. HR management system standards are needed to set a national benchmark of good practice and a consistent way of managing HR functions and people in organisations. HR metrics refer to tangible measures that show the impact of HR on the bottom-line of the business. Without a national set of standards, all current efforts at benchmarking and benchmarks are meaningless. Other professions like accounting and engineering have clear standards for professional practice, but the same cannot be said of HR. Accountants present their companies and clients with a consistent approach to the financial aspects of a company. They all conform to GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and this unified standards framework ensures consistency and credibility. For example, balance sheets and income statements are done in the same way, no matter the type of company or industry, and this consistent approach is prevalent throughout South Africa. However, there are many inconsistencies in the standard of HR work within organisations, between organisations, within and across sectors and nationally. These inconsistencies are based on a variance in standards at best, and the absence of standards at worst. This results in poor people management practices at most organisations costing them dearly, despite some pockets of excellence at leading companies. However, this will change with this national HR standards project. SABPP in association with HR Future and several other professional associations will generate HR functional standards (for example for workforce planning, learning, performance management), tangible HR metrics, as well as standards for integrated reporting. SABPP will drive this process and stay in close contact with the HR community in ensuring that they are involved in the generation of HR standards, as well as supporting them with the necessary capacity-building when applying these standards in practice. The HR Standards Project will kickoff on 21 May with 13 national standards being created for each one of the building blocks of the SABPP HR System Standards Model (see figure below). The SABPP HR System Standards Model encompasses the four phases of all good quality management practice, i.e. prepare, implement, review and improve. The three standards components are HR-business alignment at the strategic level, the functional and cross-functional HR value chain, as well as measuring HR success. Within these three standards components, the 13 HR standards are as follows: 1. Strategic HRM 2. Talent management 3. HR Risk Management 4. Workforce planning 5. Learning & Development 6. Performance management 7. Reward 8. Wellness 9. Employment Relations Management 10. Organisation Development 11. HR Service Delivery 12. HR Technology 13. Measuring HR Success continued... 3
