Washington, DC — March 29, 2010 — Inform, the global leader in analytics and workforce planning, today announced participation in two Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) initiatives to develop standards certified by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Darren Shearer, Director of Reporting Services and manager of Inform’s comprehensive workforce metrics benchmarking program, will participate in task forces focused on setting standards for common HR service delivery metrics and workforce planning processes.
The standards under development will help talent management leaders to respond effectively and consistently to the resource demands of their organizations. In time, these standards will form a portfolio of robust staffing management practices for organizations across the United States.
“Industry-standard definitions for core workforce metrics are essential for ensuring data credibility in any workforce planning or analytics initiative,” said Darren Shearer, Director of Reporting Services for Inform. “We are delighted that Inform will have the opportunity to share its experience in leading workforce planning and metrics programs at more than 300 organizations around the world.”
