For Immediate Release
ANSI GIVES BOOST TO HUMAN RESOURCES, DESIGNATES SHRM AS SOLE STANDARDS DEVELOPER IN THE U.S.
Alexandria, Va. - Feb. 27, 2009 -- The Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) today announced
it has been designated a Standards Developing Organization (SDO) by the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI). This designation makes SHRM the exclusive U.S. developer of human resource standards and
puts it on track to oversee the formulation of international HR standards.
"ANSI accreditation marks an important milestone in SHRM's ongoing efforts to advance the human resources
profession," said Lee Webster, director of HR standards at SHRM. "As the demand for HR products and
services grows, establishing durable and interoperable performance measures and metrics has become a real
market need, both in the United States and abroad."
Standards are a set of voluntary criteria, guidelines and best practices used to enhance the quality,
performance, reliability and consistency of products, services and processes of a profession. SHRM's
designation is unique because only one other professional business group is an SDO for "performance-based"
outcomes rather than "technical-based" outcomes, which are seen in more clinical professions such as
medicine.
Webster said HR standards will lead to both cost-savings and operational improvements for organizations.
One potential area for cost-savings is with investigations, where a lack of guidelines currently has
resulted in an overly complex and costly approach to what should be a routine HR operation.
Likewise, HR standards could positively impact an organization's carbon footprint through more efficient
employer relocation practices and reducing overall documentation practices that would filter down the
supply chain to an organization's vendors.
"By making HR products and services subject to a more rigorous set of standards, the return on investment
is more vivid and real for the business community," Webster said.
SHRM and ANSI will begin inviting key stakeholders in the development of writing the standards for all 13
HR discipline areas. The first meetings will occur this spring with the new standards expected out in
early 2010.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) does not yet have a technical committee that
focuses on human resources standards. SHRM intends to play an important role in founding and leading that
technical committee.
