Being a part of this course was a great learning experience and helped me in gaining an in-depth understanding of the ISO 30414 Standard. Before taking the course, I only read the contents of the guidelines and did not fully understand the definition of mathematical formulas. Thanks to the trainer’s polite and accurate explanation, as it did not leave any room for ambiguity and hence, I was able to strengthen my expertise by understanding each metric, defining it and learning to apply the relevant mathematical formulas to achieve the desired result.
In addition to this, I learned practical application of the taught contents. In the case study session, we were able to practically understand that ISO 30414 compliant HCM is leading to corporate transformation and future performance improvement. The two key take-away for me are that prior to the launch of ISO 30414, many decisions in the field of human capital management were often made for qualitative reasons but, compliance with ISO 30414 will now provide quantitative decision-making method and improve the accuracy of human capital decision-making. Secondly, adopting a standardized approach in human capital management, a lot of work can be done efficiently and more time can be allocated towards strategy-making.
