About Course
Workforce wellbeing is crucial to sustaining high productivity levels within any organization. When employees are physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy, they are more engaged, motivated, and efficient in their roles. Wellbeing programs that focus on work-life balance, mental health support, and physical wellness not only enhance job satisfaction but also reduce absenteeism and turnover rates. Ultimately, a well-cared-for workforce is more resilient, innovative, and productive, driving the organization towards its goals with greater effectiveness.
Learning Outcome
1. Strengthened Strategic Oversight
Critical HR metrics give board committees a clear, data-driven view of workforce trends, enabling them to oversee talent strategy, succession planning, culture, and leadership effectiveness with confidence.
2. Enhanced Governance and Accountability
Standardized metrics—such as those from ISO 30414:2025—allow boards to evaluate HR performance objectively, set expectations for management, and ensure accountability for human capital decisions.
3. Improved Risk Management
Human capital risks such as turnover, skills gaps, culture failures, compliance breaches, or workplace safety issues become visible early. This empowers committees to intervene proactively before risks escalate.
4. Better Alignment with ESG and Regulatory Requirements
Critical HR metrics support transparent ESG reporting and align with global standards (ISSB, ESRS, GRI, ISO 30414). This strengthens investor confidence and meets growing regulatory expectations for human capital disclosure.
5. Superior Long-Term Value Creation
By linking workforce investment to productivity, innovation, and financial outcomes, HR metrics help boards ensure that people-related decisions drive sustainable growth, competitiveness, and stakeholder trust.
