Requisite Organization: The VPHR's Perspective

Summary
- Requisite was a way of aligning employee goals with those of the organization. As a result of this restructuring, for the first time in the history of English, every job was filled by an individual who could work at that level. It's lasted in Novas for 18 years.
- The theory really did help me understand what career development was all about. Your organization structure must be designed properly and you must have the right people for the roles. Once you've tasted what it is truly like to work in a requisite structure, to go back would be impossible.

Speaker C Integrate HR practices into business practices. So when the budget is done, perfect time to say what resources do we need? And human resources are the most important resources.

Speaker A HR has to be a lead on the management team in aligning the organization with Requisite practices on how to come together to achieve our goals.

Speaker D Here was truly a way of aligning employee goals with those of the organization. The strategic planning process gave us an opportunity to make sure that we were connected not only vertically through the organization, but horizontally.

Speaker E I found it very interesting in terms of both the academic aspect of the operating principles and the concept of delineation of accountability both vertically and horizontally throughout the organization.

Speaker C The organization view changed for me of being one large organization to a series of three levels of management that allowed me to then look at how do we design systems within those three tiers of management?

Speaker D Everything you do needs to be put through this little filter called the trust filter. And you ask yourself if what you're doing is going to build trust in the organization or is it going to destroy trust?

Speaker B Noise unatoria uncambio sinoche lociase is explicar porkino passan LaCosa kenopasan and organization e quicosas uno de veria tenerinuente modificar parakes organisation fumcione harmonica mente we decided that.

Speaker A We needed something that would be real time, real simple and long term. And we think ro is it.

Speaker F As a result of this restructuring, for the first time in the history of English, every job was filled by an individual who could work at that level. And then we saw the power, the magic. We were able to steal $150,000,000 of sales from our competitors and within two years we grew by over 30%.

Speaker A It's lasted in Novas for 18 years. For 18 years. Our bonus is paid out at or above target on average. We've had an excellent year this year.

Speaker C Throughout the time frame that I was there, we more than double the business any way you were to measure it profitability, revenue. However, we were able to keep the complement of employees. It grew, no question, but only by about 25% when.

Speaker A You have to get the jobs right first. Your organization structure must be designed properly and you must have the right people for the roles. It really, really will save you a lot of time, a lot of money, and you'll be more confident in what you're doing.

Speaker E And that prize, just to be clear, is a more effective and a more focused organization that will deliver significantly better results through a requisite structure.

Speaker D The theory really did help me understand what career development was all about at a gut level and also career transitions.

Speaker C Frankly, the whole experience changed my life. I could fully appreciate where I was, how I felt, the way I felt, and frankly, it saved our marriage because my wife also better understood that I had recently gone through a stratum change, and I was changed a changed person.

Speaker E If you operate in that kind of an environment, you really don't want to go back to an environment where there's lack of clarity, there's confusion, there's spin, there's duplication of effort, there's whatever it is.

Speaker D But I think about the values on which requisite organization is based and very difficult to work in an environment where you are not getting evidence that those values around building trust and transparency and openness, that those values aren't in place.

Speaker C And that is the curse to some extent, of requisite organization, is once you've tasted what it is truly like to work in a requisite structure, to go back would be impossible.
