The human-centred organization - Rationale and general principles (ISO 27500:2016)

ISO 27500:2016 is intended for executive board members and policy makers of all types of organizations (whether large or small) in the private, public and non-profit sectors.
It describes the values and beliefs that make an organization human-centred, the significant business benefits that can be achieved, and explains the risks for the organization of not being human-centred. It provides recommendations for the policies that executive board members need to implement to achieve this. It sets out high-level human-centred principles for executive board members to endorse in order to optimize performance, minimize risks to organizations and individuals, maximize well-being in their organization, and enhance their relationships with the customers. The importance of organizational policy to address human-centredness is emphasized.
ISO 27500:2016 is not a management system standard. It is not intended or appropriate for certification purposes or regulatory or contractual use.
ISO 27500:2016 is not intended to prevent the development of national standards that are more specific or demanding.

Die menschzentrierte Organisation - Zweck und allgemeine Grundsätze (ISO 27500:2016)

Organisme centré sur l'humain - Justification et principes généraux (ISO 27500:2016)

ISO 27500:2016 s'adresse aux membres du conseil d'administration et aux personnes chargées d'élaborer les politiques de tous les types d'organismes, petits ou grands, ?uvrant dans les secteurs privé, public et à but non lucratif.
Elle décrit les valeurs et croyances que véhicule un organisme centré sur l'humain, les avantages commerciaux conséquents qui peuvent en être tirés, et explique les risques que l'organisme encourt s'il n'est pas centré sur l'humain. Elle fournit des recommandations sur les politiques que les membres du conseil d'administration doivent mettre en ?uvre pour centrer leur organisme sur l'humain. Elle décrit des principes de haut niveau centrés sur l'humain auxquels les membres du conseil d'administration doivent adhérer pour optimiser les performances, réduire le plus possible les risques pour les personnes et pour l'organisme, maximiser le bien-être au sein de leur organisme et améliorer les relations avec leurs clients. L'importance d'une politique organisationnelle pour traiter un système centré sur l'humain est soulignée.
ISO 27500:2016 n'est pas une norme traitant des systèmes de management. Elle n'est pas destinée à être employée à des fins de certification, réglementaires ou contractuelles et n'est pas adaptée à ces fins.
ISO 27500:2016 ne vise pas à empêcher l'élaboration de normes nationales plus spécifiques ou plus contraignantes.

Organizacije, osredotočene na človeka - Utemeljitev in splošna načela (ISO 27500:2016)

ISO 27500:2016 je namenjen za člane izvršnega odbora in oblikovalce politik pri vseh vrstah organizacij (velikih ali malih) v zasebnem, javnem in neprofitnem sektorju.
Opisuje vrednote in nazore, ki tvorijo organizacijo, osredotočeno na človeka, pomembne poslovne prednosti, ki jih je mogoče doseči, in pojasni tveganja za organizacije, ki niso osredotočene na človeka. Podaja priporočila glede politik, ki jih morajo člani upravnega odbora uvesti za ta namen. Določa prvostopenjska načela osredotočenosti na človeka, ki jih morajo člani upravnega odbora sprejeti, da optimizirajo učinkovitost delovanja, zmanjšajo tveganja za organizacije in posameznike, povečajo dobro počutje v organizaciji ter izboljšajo odnose s strankami. Poudarjena je pomembnost organizacijske politike za obravnavo osredotočenosti na človeka.
ISO 27500:2016 ni standard za sistem vodenja. Ni namenjen ali primeren za namene certificiranja ali uporabo v zakonodaji ali pogodbenih odnosih.
ISO 27500:2016 ni namenjen za preprečevanje razvoja nacionalnih standardov, ki so bolj specifični ali zahtevni.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
