3.1 human governance
system by which an organization is directed and controlled, taking into account the organization's stakeholders as well as human and social factors, at the highest and every level of decision making
4 Principles of human governance
Human governance principles refer to human governance domains relating to organizational, social and managerial choices.
They guide human behaviour within an organization and provide a framework to assist organizations in establishing and implementing human resource management practices that add value to the organization.
Management should formally consider and align human governance principles when establishing strategic organizational objectives and communicate these to stakeholders.
Underlying principles can include:
a) fairness and transparency in the design and outcomes of the organizational processes and practices;
b) openness in organizational processes, practices and outcomes;
c) accountability to the organization's governing bodies, legal authorities and stakeholders.
5.1 General
Effective human governance requires coordination, commitment and engagement at all levels of the organization. The highest level of commitment is demonstrated through integration with both business strategy planning and implementation. The guidelines in 5.2 to 5.4 provide critical roles and responsibilities within the management structure of traditional larger organizations. In organizations where the structure does not include management layers of this type, the guidelines apply to those who have ultimate decision-making responsibility.
5.3 Top management
Top management should:
a) define its roles and responsibilities for effective human governance;
b) encourage active participation of people at all levels;
c) commit to and review the organization's mission, vision and value statement that underpins effective human governance;
d) identify and agree on key performance indicators to be delivered by the organization's human resources;
e) regularly review results of effective human governance by examining the reporting templates for human governance;
f) develop a plan and reporting procedures to address deficiencies in the case of significant deviations;ISO 30408 pdf download.
