Ref: HCO PL 29 Aug. 70 IPERSONNEL TRANSFERS CAN DESTROY AN ORG

All personnel troubles are coming from the practice of paragraph No. 1, Personnel Series No. 1 (HCO PL 29 August 1970).

Working installations are being used as personnel pools.

So long as Dept 1 fails to solve this, it will have personnel troubles and form-of- the-org troubles, and hatting troubles.

That is why paragraph No. 1 of Personnel Series No. 1 is paragraph 1. Unsolved, all other personnel actions become a miserable mess.

Also the training of future personnel is not being predicted. There are no apprentice appointments for any post in any org. Thus experience is never passed on.

We have a year backlog of personnel problems and deficiencies, plus expansion, plus export requirements.

Unless this backlog is caught up and apprentices get posted, paragraph No. 1 of Personnel Series No. 1 will continue to prevent any smooth personnel handling.
