Dress Code Unveils HR Force Series for Efficient Organization Management

Dress Code Launches Innovative Products for Organizational Management

Dress Code Inc., headquartered in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, has recently released two significant products as part of its HR Force series: Organization and Organization Planning. These tools are designed to facilitate efficient and accurate management of organizational structures and personnel allocation within companies.

In an era where organizational design often interlinks various elements such as departmental restructuring and personnel changes, these products allow for the planning and registration of organizational designs ahead of time. This ensures that essential modifications are automatically implemented on specified dates. Furthermore, these tools enhance visibility into pending transfers and change histories, streamlining decision-making processes between management and operational teams to foster planned and effective organizational governance.

Background

The recent trends in organizational and human resource management reflect a growing need for flexibility given the high employee mobility rate. Organizations must now adapt smoothly across the entire lifecycle, including hiring, placement, training, and turnover. The division of roles between HR departments and business units has also diversified, presenting a level of complexity that traditional approaches cannot effectively manage. Consequently, several challenges have emerged:

- Complexity of Organizational Changes: As personnel transfers, departmental restructurings, and position changes become entangled, pinpointing an appropriate organizational structure and personnel allocation becomes increasingly difficult.
- Challenges in Scheduling: Existing systems struggle to manage future organizational and HR data, resulting in concentrated activities around implementation times.
- Lack of Historical Data Management: The absence of historical change records hampers the ability to comprehend the evolution from past to present.
- Inefficiency Due to Manual Processes: Current systems only permit the registration of real-time data, prohibiting necessary pre-preparations and explorations of multiple scenarios.

This has caused organizational change activities to frequently lag, compromising both planning and transparency. In response to these deep-rooted challenges, Dress Code launched the Organization and Organization Planning products.

Product Overview

Organization

This product is crafted specifically for managing diverse organizational designs and future plans flexibly. It features a dedicated database and display layout designed for organizational management. It allows users to access current organizational structures while also reviewing past organizational information.

Organization Planning

This tool consolidates planning, execution, and historical management aspects related to corporate restructuring. It accurately manages transitions such as new organizational formations, inheritances, and consolidations while simultaneously allowing for multiple organizational scenario simulations for comparison. Users can oversee the status of proposed organizational outlines from initial drafts to confirmations. On the designated restructuring date, the confirmed plans automatically reflect within the organizational chart, also updating the HR ledger's belonging information and modifying SaaS account permissions as needed—which prevents human errors and omissions associated with manual processes.

By integrating these two products, organizations can effectively manage historical, current, and future organizational data, ensuring seamless preparation, execution, and historical review of transfers and restructurings. This integration ultimately aims to enhance accuracy and reduce the workload in daily organizational management tasks.

Key Features Overview

- Organizational Restructuring Planning: Users can advance the creation and management of future organizational change proposals, registering change information with specified effective dates, and assess multiple scenarios concurrently.
- Organization Structure Management: Comprehensive management of organizational units, including additions, modifications, and discontinuations—flexibly defining hierarchical structures and relationships between parent-child and sibling organizations.
- Historical Records: Capture all organizational change histories, providing visibility into the organizational chart from specified dates. This facilitates accurate understanding of past changes and impacts for auditing and management decisions.
- Organizational Chart Display Functionality: Visual management of organizational hierarchies through tree or hierarchical formats, understanding specific historical or projected organizational charts, and comparing structures before and after changes.
- Planning Confirmation and Reflection Functions: Changes are reflected automatically within the actual organizational framework after going through an approval and confirmation process, updating members' departmental and positional information automatically alongside.
