Conference on Human Governance Standard in Pakistan

Corporate history is deluge with examples, in which lack of effective human governance framework has resulted in
inappropriate response to global competitive challenges, pursuing the wrong business strategies or engaging in selfserving actions that are detrimental to the stakeholders' interest in society. Decision-making process of business needs
to take into consideration the human well being and the interest of the all stakeholders in the society. For business
corporations to assume this role is never easy since conflict can arise between serving the self and the public.
The development of human governance framework will define a human system that promotes good governance
objectives and implementation plans to measure their success. The main object in human governance is the human,
being the soul of the corporation. It not only includes the rules regulations, systems, processes and practices, but also a
framework for ethical conduct that ensure effective strategic decision-making with a view to create responsible,
accountable, controlled and value driven companies.
As a leading segment of society, the business has become the most powerful force for positive change in the world
today. SHRM Forum Pakistan in collaboration with Abacus Consulting is organizing a National Conference at
Marriott Islamabad on 13 Dec 2014, titled Strengthening Human Governance for Sustainable Corporate Value. The
conference will engage policy making institutes in Pakistan, business and community leaders, seeking their insight that
can help in formulating a human governance standard for promoting transparency and sustainable organizations.

Conference Theme
?
Review the linkages link between Human Governance and Code of Corporate Governance and influence of

corporate governance on the design and implementation of HR Management Policies.

?
Review of structure, competency framework and performance TORs of HR & Remuneration (HR&R) Committee at

board level to facilitate members in carrying out governance duties with full assertiveness, integrity and
responsibility, for the benefit of all stakeholders.
?
Analyze whether in public sector companies with dominant external stakeholder (the state), the interests of internal

stakeholders' (employees) are overlooked because management is required to prioritize the interests of the
dominant stakeholder.
?
Analyze loopholes in conflict of interest policy to evolve a mechanism to ensure that any conflicts of interest

appearance are avoided or appropriately managed through disclosure, refusal or other means;
?
Review the quality of employees-management relations and their impact on organizational performance.
?
Review of contemporary global trends in human governance risk assessment and disclosure framework.
?
Need for a policy guideline that human governance policies of the organization are in writing, clearly articulated

and officially adopted; with an emphasis on promoting a culture of working relationship with senior management
based on mutual respect, fairness, openness and trust.

Benefits
Effective human governance will help in ensuring that the interests of shareholders, directors, top-level management,
staff and all other stakeholders are mutually aligned. It will facilitate business leaders in steering their organization with
integrity and assertiveness. The corporations will become more transparent, objective, accountable and productive,
thus gaining confidence of investors. It is through human governance that government can strengthen its agenda of
privatization, deregulation, restructuring and good governance seeking to enhance growth and productivity in the
economy; paving way for sustainable public and private sector.
