Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 30 OCTOBER 1980 Issue I (Originally LRH OODs item of 10 March 1971) | Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 30 OCTOBER 1980 Issue III (Originally LRH OODs itemof 13 December 1969) |
ESTABLISHMENT AND THE HAS | POST TRANSFERS |
Don’t, please, don’t start musical chairs again. | |
The terminal for staff members and execs to contact when they want personnel is the HCO Area Sec (HAS). | People aren’t checkers. Their jobs are valuable to them. |
They do NOT route this through or to the Org Officer. | The correct way to get a Dianetic auditor in Qual is to demand one be selected off a noncritical post and trained. |
The HAS should work to put an establishment there. | Also, the next lot of recruits will give us new people. Thus, somewhere there in a noncritical post one can find a Chaplain, get him to part-time study the Chaplain’s post. When recruits arrive, he can turn over his post to a recruit and groove it in, then relieve the Chaplain and the Chaplain goes to Dianetic auditor. It takes time. It takes skill to shift personnel without caving the org in by removing stable terminals. These wild shifts deluge us with dev-t, invalidate post importances and make, actually, one unstable dangerous environment. |
The Org Officer helps the Product Officer to get products by organizing the immediate area being concentrated on so it is smoothly producing. | No more musical chairs, please. It’s absolute hell on everyone. |
You don’t write Personnel to get personnel. You write the HAS. | In actual fact musical chairs comes about through recruitment failures and improper org design. |
The HAS channels to HCO on such matters. | There should be HCO Expeditors to take up the slack. From lack of them, all else goes to blazes. When you have no excess personnel, any transfer starts musical chairs. |
When the concept of what is an establishment is grasped, all else is easy. | We also ask people if they want a post. |
Space, materiel, machines, personnel, hats, lines, control of the org form, are all establishment. (Org Series 10, Product 1.) | Get some HCO Expeditors through better recruitment and all is solved. |
The HAS uses Inspection and Reports (Dept 3 HCO) (stats) to measure the volume, quality and viability of the establishment so more or less can be put there. The HAS corrects the establishment using her other depts — Personnel, org bd, comm lines and lines and Ethics. | Founder |
Until everyone knows what is an HAS and what is an Org Officer they won’t be able to direct requests or comms and the system will jam up. | Approved and accepted by the BOARDS OF DIRECTORS of the CHURCHES OF SCIENTOLOGY |
The HAS establishes, forms, puts there, corrects, posts, hats, org boards, stats, corrects the org. All on a long-term basis. | |
The Org Officer organizes production areas for the Product Officer so they produce. | |
The Product Officer gets the products of the establishment produced or corrects the products. | |
Org Series No. 10 gives you the four types of products — 1, 3, 2, 4. One is the establishment itself. Three is correcting the establishment. Two is what the establishment produces. Four is correcting the faulty product of the establishment. | |
You can organize forever and get no production of valuable final products. | |
You can produce valuable final products with no organization on a total cope. But volume, quality and viability will be awful and the overload will soon overwhelm. | |
So there are two sides to the coin — organize, produce. | |
There is long-term, steady, stable, expanding organizing. That’s the HAS. | |
There is instant, immediate, right-now organizing. That’s the Org Officer working with the Product Officer. | |
There is hammer-pound, right-now production of products. That’s the Product Officer backed up by the Org Officer close to hand and a bit out in front. | |
There are also “Consumption” Officers who get the products wanted outside and consumed. These are the Dissemination Secretary (Div II) (old public) and the Distribution Secretary (Div VI) (new public). | |
So you have a line-up: Organize an establishment, organize the production area, produce, get the product wanted and consumed. | |
It’s all that simple. | |
On this depends the uniforms, the pay, the facilities, the food, the transport, personal success, expansion, general success and eventual accomplishment of large targets. | |
When these points aren’t understood, then all the shortages and upsets and confusions you object to occur. | |
Wherever morale is low, somebody around that point doesn’t understand this or agree with prosperity. | |
