Function cockpit
Human Resources
Agents run the employee lifecycle. Humans make employment decisions.
Phase: Phase 3 — Functional orchestration
Run hire-to-retire as one coordinated work graph: requisition administration, scheduling, onboarding, policy service and records are agent work; selection, compensation, performance and termination remain human.

How a unit moves: the conductor, the five desks, the agents, and the people
Flow of work
How work actually moves through Human Resources
Work enters on the left. HR Chief of Staff routes it to one of five desks. A named agent does the work. It leaves as cleared, as evidence posted, or as a hold for a person. Every packet you see below is weighted by the real distribution of 194 live units.

The five desks
What HR Chief of Staff is actually conducting
Each desk is a layer of the operating model, not a team. The conductor decides which desk owns a unit, then which agent on that desk picks it up.
Takes a position
Strategy
Agents that take positions, argue them, and get held to the outcome.
Receives
A question the function has to answer with money or people behind it.
Emits
A written position with assumptions, alternatives priced, and break conditions.

Human lanes
Where the conductor stops and asks a person
The conductor does not decide everything. Materiality routes a unit to a named human role, and the clock keeps running while it waits.

Walk one unit
Follow the single piece of work with the most at stake
Diagrams argue. A unit proves. Step through the actual route this unit is taking, station by station, and read the evidence written at each action.

What this view is and is not
Every count, agent, station, gate and unit on this page is read from the live records for Human Resources. The moving packets in the diagram are a visual weighting of that same distribution, not a live message bus: they show where volume goes, not individual transactions in real time. The human lanes are the routing rule, not a staffing model. Chief Human Resources Officer remains accountable for this function whatever the conductor clears.
