The South African HR Standards were the first set of its kind in the world and attracted interest from 18 countries. Several countries on the African continent have either adopted or slightly adapted the HR Standards for their purposes.

The First Annual National HR Standards Roll Out in 2013 attracted 468 participants and the second annual roll-out in 2014 attracted 631 delegates. More than 4 000 HR professionals have now been directly exposed to the HR Standards.

Top HR professional bodies and interest groups from the USA, UK, Australia and other countries have reacted favourably to the South African HR Standards with some of them visiting SABPP to learn about the process and outcomes.

A total of 21 universities have committed to adapt their curricula to the HR Standards and the first masters degree on the HR Standards has been successfully completed by an HR Manager.

The Minister of Justice and Correctional Services, Advocate Michael Masutha approved HR professionals as Ex-Officio Commissioners of Oaths when the Standards were submitted as part of the motivation to his office.

The worlds first HR audit framework was developed so companies can be audited against the National HR Standards.

More than 100 auditors have been trained to audit companies against the Standards.

In 2015, the 3rd Annual HR StandardsRoll Out takes the National HR Standards Journey to a new level of significance. Not only do we continue on this multi-year HR Standards journey, but we also, every year, step up and add new outputs to the achievements of the previous year as the HR Standards journey unfolds. This year we bring you the framework within which a National HR scorecard, Board and operational HR reporting will be developed, enabling you to measure the bottom-

line impact of HR on your organisation. The HR metrics also enable you to do meaningful benchmarking with other companies against a clear set of consistent metrics. This three-year HR Standards journey has now reached a level of integration and alignment so much so that the three dimensions (standards, audits and metrics) now form a synergistic approach to raising the bar on HR excellence in the workplace that extends the impact of HR work beyond the realm of internal HR practices to national significance.

Over the past three years, South Africa has become a world-leader in the development, implementation and auditing of National HR Standards. The HR Standards journey started in 2013 with the development of the worldsfirst National HR Management System with 13 standard elements, namely Strategic HR Management,

Talent Management, HR Risk Management, Workforce Planning, Learning and Development, Performance Management, Reward and Recognition, Employee Wellness, Employment Relations Management, HR Service Delivery, HR Technology and HR Measurement.

The purpose of the HR Standards initiative driven by SABPP in association with HR Future magazine was to reduce inconsistencies in HR practice and to provide a common and standardised framework for sound HR practice. The HR Standards project enabled the HRprofession to improve its credibility, status and impact in the workplace. In 2014, an

additional 19 HR Professional Practice Standards were created to support the HR Management System with clear professional practices being implemented by HR professionals in the workplace. These Professional Practice Standards range from absenteeism management and succession planning to career development. Also, 2014 saw the setting up of a National HR Audit Unit responsible for conducting HR Audits against the National HR Standards. Several companies have already been audited and the Boards of those companies audited now have full confidence in the quality of HR practice as verified by independent external auditors.
