Worldwide Online Training on ISO Human Capital Standards Now Available

Organizations are making critical decisions about people without the human capital metrics needed to guide them or management systems in place to achieve the best results. This new online training and certification program prepares executives for the ISO 30414 Human Capital Reporting and ISO 10018 Quality People Management certification offered by the International Center for Enterprise Engagement at TheICEE.org, founded by the people who helped create these standards. ISO human capital standards help organizations make better decisions, improve sustainable performance, and enhance stakeholder experiences.
 

How organizations and professionals can make better decisions and benefit from a strategic and systematic approach to human capital management and reporting is the subject of the international online training program offered by the International Center for Enterprise Engagement, which is among the only organizations anywhere offering formal training on the first human capital standards published by ISO, the International Organization for Standardization. These standards are designed for organizations that truly believe that people are their most important asset. 

 

The online courses begin monthly in April with required introductory webinars for candidates that are available to all at no cost. The webinar schedule accommodates applicants from around the world. Applicants for professional certification in ISO 30414 Human Capital Reporting or ISO 10018 Quality People Management standards must join ICEE to complete additional learning; purchase the standards from ISO and thoroughly read them to understand the principles; complete a 100-question multiple choice test; a written exercise, and a one-hour video webinar meeting with an examiner.

 

Based on a laborious process usually involving experts from dozens of countries, ISO standards provide a voluntary roadmap for achieving specific organizational goals by identifying all the people and processes required for success and how they can best be managed in a transparent manner to foster sustainable improvement. The standards do not stipulate the specific strategies and tactics but rather that there is a CEO-led strategic and systematic approach that is transparent enough to be audited and continuously improved.

 

The introductory webinar course, supported by the enterprise engagement agency EGR International at EGRInternational.com, provides information on: 

• ISO 30414, officially known as Human Capital Internal and External Guidelines, provide a voluntary framework for the tracking, use of, and sharing of appropriate human capital metrics for the purpose of making better organizational decisions and disclosures to stakeholders. It was published in 2019. 

• ISO 10018, officially known as Quality Management—Guidelines on People Involvement and Competence. It was published in 2015.

To complete professional ISO certification, people or organizations must join ICEE as an individual or corporation to gain access to the learning and support materials for each standard certification. ISO Professional certification requires a college degree from an accredited college or university and at least three years of management and/or ISO or related auditing experience. Upon completion of the examination process, a provisional professional certification is granted until the candidate completes an actual development plan or audit for an organization.

 

People who do not yet have the required management or auditing experience can earn a Certified Professional designation until they meet the required professional requirements. 

 

Explains Dr. Ron B. McKinley, Managing Director and Co-Founder of ICEE, “Many CEOs are making short-term decisions based on bad data that hurt shareholders and other stakeholders in the longer run. ISO human capital standards are designed to address the major inefficiencies of people management, starting with a fundamental failure to effectively measure the often significant and overlooked longer-term people costs of major decisions. How many CEOs have access to or are making decisions based on year-over-year comparable data on such metrics as: revenues/costs per employee and customer; customer and talent turnover and related costs; customer or employee complaints and related costs; accidents and related costs; wellness and related costs; absenteeism and related costs; employee and customer engagement and willingness-to-refer data; number and nature of law suits and related costs? It’s easy to make short-term decisions that look smart if you overlook the bigger picture.” 

 

As Dr. McKinley elaborates, “Many organizations think they have a handle on the costs of major decisions, but they often don’t because they overlook the human impact that can unfold beneath the radar screen if not tracked on a strategic and systematic basis. Decisions that look like they are saving money from an operational standpoint often have major costs completely overlooked because organizations lack the ability or focus to effectively measure the human impact.”

 

Explains Bruce Bolger, Co-Founder of ICEE, “For instance, many organizations have decided that it does not pay to offer employees paid sick leave. What looks like an obvious decision from a short-term standpoint, may not make sense over the longer haul if the organizations have more data on the costs in terms of potential litigation, turnover, or workforce availability. Do companies really have enough data to confirm the efficacy of such a critical decision? Likewise, many companies instituted automated phone systems based on the obvious short-term savings, but have they adequately measured the impact on customer loyalty or the willingness to refer?” 

 

Adds Lee S. Webster, Co-Founder of the International Center for Enterprise Engagement and the ISO 260 working group that created the human capital standards, “These standards are designed to do for human capital management what ISO 9001 standards did for quality management: apply a strategic, systematic, and proactive approach to processes, measures, and continuous improvement to significantly improve quality, productivity, and collaboration.”
