ISO 30201:2026 specifies requirements for a human resource management system (HRMS). It provides an organization-wide framework for attracting, developing, deploying, and supporting workers, with emphasis on leadership, planning, workforce processes, performance evaluation, continual improvement, and integration with the overall management system.
The standard applies to organizations of all sizes and sectors, including public, private, for-profit, and not-for-profit organizations. It supports the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle and includes informative annexes covering example issues, consultation and participation, and conformity evaluation.
Application Scope: Suitable for organizations establishing, implementing, maintaining, or improving an HR management system, as well as HR, people operations, compliance, audit, and management professionals evaluating conformity with ISO 30201:2026.
