“The best men are molded out of faults”
— William Shakespeare
The American National Standards Institute is the Global Secretariat for ISO Technical Committee 260 (ISO/TC 260); organized to develop policy templates for standardization solutions that improve management of the workforce in any nation; in any sector or industry. These human resource management standards offer broad, evidence-based guidance to individuals with people management responsibilities, whether formally or informally assigned, in organizations for the benefit of both internal and external stakeholders.
Gleaned from inputs from human resource experts globally, these products are designed to provide guidance on key HR functions in support of its workforce and its management, and sustainable organizational performance. TC/260 is focused on the following tasks:
• Ensuring wide market relevance of its HRM standards.
• Facilitating international business.
• Providing guidance on professional standards of practice.
• Facilitating measurement, comparability and consistency of HR practice with the aim of transparent benchmarking.
• Improving internal processes.
• Enabling organizations to better achieve optimal organizational outcomes with improved management of human capital

The original University of Michigan user-interest advocacy enterprise was participating member in this project* but that engagement was interrupted suddenly in October 2016 (See ABOUT). We have since picked up where we left off with the same people collaborating with Standards Michigan. ANSI remains the global Secretariat.
We maintain this project on the standing agenda of both our Global and our Human Resource colloquia. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.

*We left off just as the ISO/TS 30411:2018, Human resource management-Quality of hire metric (QoH) standard was rolling out. The QoH was, and still is a performance metric for talent acquisition teams, critical for determining the effectiveness of the recruitment process and has a consequential impact on an organization’s performance. The QoH structure is intended to be scalable to the needs of any organization regardless of size, industry or sector and is relevant to people with an interest in workforce planning, organizational design and development, talent management succession planning, recruitment, and human capital reporting.

ISO Guidelines Help Measure Employees’ Impact on Company Performance
Organizational charts are often considered internal documents, and the specific format can vary widely based on organizational culture, preferences, and specific needs. Organizations may develop their own standards based on industry best practices, legal requirements, and internal considerations. Depending on the industry, there may be associations that provide guidelines tailored to that particular sector. The HR sector has a few:
Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM): SHRM provides resources and best practices for human resource professionals, including guidance on organizational structure and charts.
Project Management Institute (PMI): PMI may offer insights into organizational structures, especially in the context of project management.
International Organization for Standardization (ISO): ISO develops international standards for various aspects, including some related to organizational structures. However, these standards are not specific templates for organizational charts.
There are generally accepted principles and standards for constructing organizational charts, but the specific format and details can vary depending on the organization’s size, structure, and industry. Here are some common guidelines for creating organizational charts:
Top-Down Hierarchy: The chart typically follows a top-down hierarchy, with the highest-ranking positions at the top and lower-ranking positions below.
Clear Reporting Lines: Clearly define reporting lines to represent the chain of command and authority within the organization.
Position Titles and Names: Include position titles and, if space allows, the names of individuals holding those positions.
Consistency: Maintain consistency in the layout, shapes, and formatting of boxes and lines throughout the chart.
Departments and Divisions: Use different colors, shading, or grouping to represent different departments or divisions within the organization.
Clarity and Simplicity: Keep the chart clear and simple to understand. Avoid unnecessary complexity that might confuse viewers.
Use of Lines: Connect positions with straight or diagonal lines to represent reporting relationships. Dotted lines are sometimes used for indirect or dotted-line reporting.
Position of Support Staff: Support staff (such as human resources, IT, etc.) may be placed in a separate section or integrated within the chart, depending on the organization’s preference.
Employee Information: Depending on the sensitivity of the information and organizational culture, include only essential information about employees (names, titles) or provide more details like photos and contact information.
Updates: Regularly update the organizational chart to reflect any changes in personnel, structure, or reporting relationships.
It’s important to note that these are general guidelines, and the specific requirements for an organizational chart can vary widely based on the organization’s needs and preferences. Some organizations may prefer a more detailed chart, while others may opt for a simpler representation.
A fully dimensioned exploration of human resource standards — and approaches to lowering cost — cannot be without an understanding of present practice, and prevailing opinion about present practice.

Pennsylvania State University — also known as Penn State — is a public state-related land-grant research university with campuses that are spread throughout Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1855 as the Farmers’ High School of Pennsylvania and became the country’s only land-grant institution eight years later in 1863.
Though the university is not a member of the Ivy League, Penn State is a major research university and is sometimes referred to as one of the so-called “Public Ivies”, a publicly-funded research institution that provides a comparable quality of education to Ivy League institutions. In addition to its land-grant designation, Penn State also participates in the sea-grant, sun-grant, and space-grant; one of only four institutions (alongside Cornell, Oregon State, and Hawai’I at Mānoa) to do so.
Penn State is a “state-related” university and forms part of Pennsylvania’s Commonwealth System of Higher Education. Although the university receives funding from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and is connected to the state via its board of trustees, it is entirely independent and does not fall under the control of the state.

Human Resources, perhaps aptly, is a large domain, likely the largest and, for the most part, outside our wheelhouse. As we continue our journey explore ways to make the physical surroundings of educational settlements of all sizes safer, simpler, lower-cost and longer lasting. it is fitting that we understand the pathways the flow of money takes.

The Pennsylvania State University is a multi-campus public university system in the state of Pennsylvania, USA. As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, here is a list of campuses in the Penn State system:
Randall Thompson’s “Frostiana” is a choral cycle based on the poems of Robert Frost. The cycle consists of settings for mixed chorus and piano, and it was premiered in 1959. “Frostiana” was commissioned to celebrate the bicentennial of the town of Amherst, Massachusetts, and it features seven of Frost’s poems set to music by Thompson.
“Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” is one of the poems included in the “Frostiana” cycle. The composition captures the reflective and contemplative mood of Frost’s poem, where the narrator pauses to admire the beauty of a snowy evening in a quiet forest. Randall Thompson’s musical setting adds another layer to Frost’s words, enhancing the emotional impact of the poem.
Thompson’s approach in “Frostiana” is characterized by its accessibility and tonal clarity. His settings aim to convey the meaning and atmosphere of Frost’s poetry through the expressive power of choral music. The entire “Frostiana” cycle is a celebration of both Thompson’s skill as a composer and Frost’s enduring contribution to American literature.
“Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”
By Robert FrostThis is one of my favourite English poems. It is vivid, melancholic, and wistful. The imagery and the final lines have stuck with me for years.

Sir Edward William Elgar (2 June 1857 – 23 February 1934) was an English composer, many of whose works have entered the British and international classical concert repertoire. Among his best-known compositions are orchestral works including the Enigma Variations, the Pomp and Circumstance Marches, concertos for violin and cello, and two symphonies. He was appointed Master of the King’s Musick in 1924.
