Who is ISO/TS 24178 for?

- HR managers

Why should you use ISO/TS 24178?
An organization's workforce includes permanent employees, casuals, contingent workers, and all workers who fall within the reporting organization's governance and leadership structure. Where possible and practical, reporting and metrics should include the breakdown by type of worker. There should be both aggregated measures that assess the overall assessment of culture across the whole workforce and breakdowns that link metrics to factors that can be acted upon to influence changes in culture.
ISO/TS 24178 deals specifically with the cluster of metrics in the organizational culture area. ISO/TS 24178 highlights guidelines on the following core human capital reporting areas or “clusters”:
- Compliance and ethics
- Costs
- Diversity
- Leadership
- Organizational culture
- Organizational health, safety, and well-being
- Productivity
- Recruitment, mobility, and turnover
These guidelines help your organization to achieve cultural maturity and a clear vision to define its work culture.
