The People laboratory
Five inherited jobs, run in public.
The Five HR Jobs — the everyday titles, not invented ones — taken through the same redesign method Human Workday runs everywhere, one piece at a time.
HR Generalist, Recruiter, HR Manager, HR Coordinator, and Payroll & Benefits Administrator. Each is taken through the same nine-question method: the job as inherited, where the workday actually goes, the delegation analysis by work unit, and the human role recomposed on the other side.
Where the series stands
Drafted. Unratified. Reviewable.
All five pieces are drafted and flagged for review — none of it is ratified, and none of it is a recommendation until it has been tested against a real work inventory. Working drafts exist as full documents: the O*NET task inventory, the delegation analysis with its evidence grades, the recomposed role, the counter-case against it, and the evidence register behind every claim.
Working drafts are available on request; nothing here is a public download while the series is still being reviewed.
Available on requestWhat five inventories found
The destinations, side by side.
The method doesn't prescribe the answer. The work reveals it. Run against five different jobs, it produced five materially different conclusions — not five copies of the same redesign with new letterhead.
Inherited role — what the inventory found — redesign destination
Five jobs do not make five seats.
The mapping above is work-first, not title-first — five inherited jobs do not map one-to-one onto five designed roles, and that non-bijection is a finding, not a flaw. The method also has to stay capable of the inconvenient conclusion, or it is not a method: in a small enough organization, where the generalist already is the department, a correctly run inventory can find that the right answer is to keep the job, buy better software, and change nothing structural.
Hypotheses, not recommendations
Titles are hypotheses. The destination titles above come from an illustrative department-of-five — a hypothesis to be tested against a work inventory, never a recommendation. An organization that runs the inventory and lands elsewhere has used the method correctly.
The human consequence
What this redesign costs and returns for one person, in full, is on the homepage — a single fictional workday, before and after, and the line that names what actually changed: it removed the interruptions standing between her and doing the work well, not the weight of the work itself.
