HRM.1:4.1 - Recover the work and the actual relation

Identify the contribution, its recipient and conditions: what work is needed, when, with what tools, assistance and uncertainty, and who may revise that need. Recover the affected participation relations, present terms, commitments and material alternatives. Ask affected people what they actually do and what the proposed change would demand. A job title and nominal hours can conceal coordination, interruption, emotional demands or helping work.

Determine which work is newly needed, remains necessary, has disappeared or can be obtained differently. Strategy can propose a new opportunity after success; Operations supplies current demand and promises; OCE supplies organization and obtaining alternatives. Do not freeze an old task list and classify every difference as a human deficit. Keep effective commitments until their valid change: an eliminated task does not automatically eliminate a wage obligation.
