ISO/TR 30406:2017 – Human Resource Management - Sustainable Employability Management for Organizations
ISO/TR 30406:2017 is an international standard that provides organisations with guidance on promoting sustainable employability among their workforces. This technical report outlines strategies and best practices for creating work environments that support employee health, well-being, and long-term career development. By implementing ISO/TR 30406:2017, organisations can enhance employee engagement, retention, and productivity while meeting global HR standards for sustainable workforce management.
What is ISO/TR 30406:2017?
ISO/TR 30406:2017 provides guidelines to help organisations manage sustainable employability. This means creating a long-term approach to developing and maintaining a skilled, adaptable workforce that can grow with the organisation and respond to changes in the market. The focus is on supporting employees’ ability to stay employed, build transferable skills, and balance work demands with personal well-being. Sustainable employability is a key part of modern business sustainability and ensures that employees and organisations can thrive over time.
Why does an organisation need ISO/TR 30406:2017?
The modern workplace is evolving rapidly. Technology, globalisation, shifting demographics, and changing employee expectations have made the idea of “a job for life” less realistic. To stay competitive, organisations must build workforces that are flexible, continually learning, and ready to take on new challenges. ISO/TR 30406 helps organisations plan ahead by identifying skills gaps, retraining staff, and supporting employees through career changes. It promotes proactive workforce management that reduces costly layoffs, unnecessary hiring, and skill shortages. It also emphasises employee well-being, ensuring that job demands match the abilities of the people doing the work.
What are the benefits of implementing ISO/TR 30406:2017?
- Reduces costs tied to recruitment, absenteeism, turnover, and layoffs.
- Lowers rates of absenteeism, burnout, workplace accidents, and underemployment.
- Builds a reputation as an employer of choice.
