Every organization, as soon as (1)

Every organization, as soon as (1) it gets to any size (perhaps 1,000 people), begins to feel a need to systematize its management of human assets. Perhaps the pay scales have got way out of line, with apparently similar-level jobs paying very different amounts; perhaps there is a feeling that there are a lot of neglected skills in the organization that other departments could utilize if (2) they were aware that (3) they existed. Perhaps individuals have complained that (4) they don't know where they stand or what their future is; perhaps the unions have requested standardized benefits and procedures.
