Foreword
1SO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
1SO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.

Introduction
Human capital includes the cumulative knowledge, skills and abilities of an organization's people and
the impact on an organization's long-term performance, as well as competitive advantage through
optimizing organizational outcomes.
‘The measurement of human capital facilitates the ability of an organization to manage one of its most
critical resources and risks, people. Research shows that organizations that do not manage their human
capital may damage the ability and opportunity for the business to create long-term and sustainable
value achieved through their peoplel.
This document is guided by the principles of human rights at workl2J, and coupled with the human
governance standard (ISO 30408I3)), it establishes guidelines on human capital data capture,
measurement, analysis and reporting.
The benefits of a standardized approach to human capital reporting (HCR) include
— the use of standardized and agreed data, which describes organizational value in a broadly
comparable sense;
— the improvement of HRM processes that support good practice in establishing and maintaining
positive employment relations;
— greater understanding of the financial and non-financial returns that are generated as a result of
investments in human capital;
— accessible and transparent reporting of human capital data and insights that enhances internal
and external understanding and assessment of an organization's human capital and its present and
future performance.
HCRis following guiding principles which are outlined in 4.2.
