The emerging field of HR Standards ....

[friday403]

As you will already know the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) has announced a series of projects to develop HR standards in the United States, in conjunction with ANSI.

In Australia, the university sector has been working on HR standards:

QUT | HR | National Advisory Standards for the Professional Practice of HR in Australian Universities

This work is currently in draft form and practitioner comments are invited.

Have to due your own due diligence on this one:

HRcoach

This franchising group offers training in Auditing under the HR standard but it doesn't appear to be endorsed by any of the auditing professional bodies.

Hello I believe that Standards Australia have already published a suite of HR standards for sometime....are these specific standards for the universities?

I would be happy to read them over and comment as I was also involved with the development of the other standards.

Ivana,

There was a Standards Australia project running that has not, to my knowledge, released it's output. They did release a Guideline to Emerging Best Practice but this wasn't a Standards document.

Hi Friday403

not 100% sure it has been a while since I was there - I have downloaded the standards out for comments and will have a read of them.

cheers, Ivana
