Founding reference implementation: InclusionScore

Workforce Service Management Institute

Govern the systems that govern work.

Workforce Service Management is the operating discipline for workforce management systems: a way to design, govern, measure, improve, and assure the services through which organizations create value, reduce risk, and increase workforce capability.

InclusionScore is the operating identity of the Workforce Service Management Institute (WSMI).

Standards architecture

One workforce. Three management disciplines. One service architecture.

DISM establishes the people-first governance lens of Workforce Service Management. HRSM operationalizes that lens across human workforce services, while AISM extends it into AI-enabled and agentic work.

DISM

Diversity & Inclusion Service Management

ISO 30415

DISM establishes the people-first governance lens for WSM: human recognition, participation, accessibility, fairness, representation, dignity, stakeholder voice, and inclusion obligations.

DISM sees the person first

This is a WSM architecture, not an ISO-declared standards hierarchy. ISO 30415 / DISM supplies the human-recognition lens used to interpret human workforce and agentic workforce governance.

DISM / ISO 30415

People-first governance

Recognition, participation, equity, accessibility, fairness, representation, dignity, stakeholder voice, inclusion, and recourse.

HRSM / ISO 30201

Human work

Roles, responsibilities, competence, planning, hiring, onboarding, performance, learning, mobility, evidence, and accountability.

AISM / ISO 42001

Agentic work

AI governance, agent roles, lifecycle controls, impact assessment, oversight, transparency, fairness, accessibility, monitoring, remedy, audit, and assurance.

What WSM is

A professional operating discipline for workforce service exchange.

WSM starts from a simple premise: every organizational objective is achieved through services. Work is the execution of a service, whether performed by people, AI agents, technologies, suppliers, institutions, or other systems.

The Body of Knowledge is not application documentation. It is the public knowledge graph from which training, certification, assessment, assurance, software, advisory methods, and future standards work can be derived.
