2. INTRODUCTION

2.1. BACKGROUND
The Organisational Manual for the Office of the Registrar of Companies (ORC) has been developed
to enhance the capacity of the ORC to attract, develop and retain good caliber of talents. It is to
facilitate and guide the recruitment, development, career progression and selection of personnel
with the requisite skills and competencies to carry out the mandate of the ORC.

Specifically, the primary objectives of the Organisational Manual are to:


 Serve as a valuable aid to recruitment;
 Provide a framework for career development;
 Define progression in the job;
 Facilitate effective succession planning;
 Provide a framework for effective Human Resources development of the ORC.

The ORC Organisational Mannual has been developed taking certain exigencies into consideration:

The need for ORC to be up and running successfully within a very short period of time (
one year)and implement a change management plan which offers the need to recruit
high performing , capable and experienced staff to reduce learning curve issues with
staffing and operating at optimum levels of efficiency and productivity
The need to bring into ORC culture, certain dimensions of operational effectiveness such
as call center operations, VIP customer care and around the clock shifts for reliable
online service and customer care.
The desire for full autonomy within the next five years which is ambitious and requires
ORC to employ best practice recruitment and retention policies such as sourcing the
best talent at the most competitive value possible for a public sector organization and
developing a culture that rewards excellence and going beyond the call of duty.

To achieve these goals, the following strategies have to be in place for operational success:

Development and Upward review of a rewards and incentive package for non legal staff that
serves as motivation and incentive for public service staff to work around the clock with
dedication
Development of a scheme of service for ORC taking into consideration the highly complex
nature of having more than four civil service class of employees operating in one space with
pressures for modernization of work culture and practices. In the document, one will note
the use of new job titles such as Examiner, Compliance Inspector, etc. these are positions
that are derivative of the Company Inspector Class, however, given the evolving nature of
the work at ORC, a relevant and up to date scheme of service is required for ORC’s
mandate. Another example is the use of job titles of Admin Assistants and Office Managers,

14
which are derivatives of the Senior Private Secretary functions which are capped. Hence for
ORC, there is the need to develop a new cadre of admin support staff who are on board with
technology and new methods of providing administrative support in the technology age.
Professional staff are also expected to be more independent with technology use to reduce
high cost and reliance on support staff. It is one of the rationales for keeping stenographer
secretaries to the minimum of any at all within ORC.
Apart from the generic training listed, there is the need to implement training
recommendations offered in the ORC Decoupling and change management plan because
they deal with transition and change and these are vital salves that will hold the
organization together during its transition period, a sine qua non, to say the least.
Finally, ORC is further strengthened three ways with the implementation this establishment
level:
 Increase and diversity in the communication function as demanded by the
ORC Act to strengthen outreach, public education, at one end and to buttress
internal research required for strategic expansion into new markets with
market research capabilities to support increased revenue generation. This is
integral to ORC’s push for autonomy within 5 years. Also noteworthy is the
strengthening of the communication ambit for bulletin publication which is
tied to revenue generation.
 Strengthening of organizational research and analytics to support the ROC and
ORC as a whole in making evidence based strategic decisions. This can be
seen in the creation of the Planning Unit which is tasked with Monitoring and
Evaluation as well. The Planning and Budget function have also been further
expanded to reduce the burden on one person to handle organizational
planning budgeting coordination which can be seen as a risk mitigation and
quality control approach.
 The expansion of the HR function is equally noteworthy. This will give ORC
the necessary people, processes and system muscles to grow as well as to
expand its capabilities to attain its goals and achieve its mandate taking
industry best practices into consideration.

2.2. ORC ESTABLISHMENT AND OBJECT


In 2019, the President of the Republic of Ghana announced the approval of the new Companies Act,
2019, (Act 992). The preparation of the Companies Act 992 has been started in 2018 and it was
intended for replacing the Companies Act, 1963 (Act 179).
The new Companies Act, 2019 (Act 992) seeks to introduce improved standards for corporate
governance for companies operating in Ghana. It aims to significantly improve the governance
structures of companies, with additional qualifications and duties for directors, with appropriate
sanctions. The largest impact of the new legislation is the creation of the ORC, an autonomous

15
governmental body, established to register and regulate businesses and corporate entities
operating in the country.

2.3. FUNCTIONS OF THE OFFICE OF THE REGISTRAR OF COMPANIES

Appendix 1

Learning for Change

It is one thing to have a new structure, job descriptions and units in place with the
hopes of building a new and effective organization. These in themselves do not
offer a guarantee for organizational effectiveness. The ORC is a new organization
and as a result, it offers a unique opportunity to build into its structure, an
organization culture from the onset that will set the institution up for success. As
the saying goes, it is easier to start something up from the beginning than to change
a legacy system that already exists midway. In the Organizational culture map
below, the ORC strategy, structure and goals have been delineated in this
document. Those elements in terms of strategy, structure, leadership aspirations
and organizational goals intersect with leadership culture, businesses processes and
practices. The optimum or ideal culture is what sits as the “As-Is” Culture and it is
reflected in the behaviors, values and norms that will be demonstrated hitherto.
These are all reflected in the “actions” of the organization’s leadership and staff.
These have to be carefully crafted to ensure that when the change is being
measured, the required frameworks have already been laid out to provide the right
information that can be measured, tested and integrated. See table below.

330
Since ORC is a function of a decoupling (restructuring and redesign) from RGD, it is
expected that legacy actions that may not be ideal, may flow into the new ORC
structure. To offset this risk, a change management Training/Learning plan should
accompany and be integrated into the decoupling plan as a component of it. The
change learning plan should follow the model outlined below.

3.19.9. Options for Recruitment of candidates into ORC during the Transition
Period

3.19.10. Candidates Identified Internally Who Meet Selection Criteria

No Candidates Identified Internally Who meet selection criteria


1  Build Competencies and skills first through aggressive skills learning,
certification, coaching and mentoring prior to candidate recruitment and
selection.
 This approach will give all potential ORC staff a fair chance to prepare and
hopefully pass the interview processes. The risk level for resistance to change
and propensity to disrupt or rebel against the transition will be low. Candidates
who do not make it will know they were given a chance to succeed but did not
make it.
 The approach can lead to a high internal candidate selection feedback.
 It will also lead to less resistance to change during the transition period.
 Supervisors have a chance to share vacancy notices with their teams for
discussion and learning prior to candidate recruitment. It will engender
transparency and build trust.
2 Salary, Benefits and allowances for positions should be adequately competitive
enough to attract the best of talent within and outside the organization to build
the desired “world class organization” as articulated in core values. This should
include offering health and dental benefits, overtime, risk allowance,
transportation and housing allowance to those staff in the administrative category
(CIVIL SERVICE SINGLE SPINE SALARY STRUCTURE) who do not receive such
allowances. This should be matched with job descriptions that are equally rigorous
and competitive.
3 Reach of vacancy announcements should extend beyond the Legal, Civil, Public
service into national and international civil servants’ domain.
4 Organise Career Fairs for key Universities and lead Recruitment Missions at
designated locations (including Ghanaian Diaspora in US, UK, Europe, Canada and

337
Australia) to identify, and conduct initial interviews of candidates and collect CVs.
This can be done online as well. This activity can bring in a high number of diverse
CVs for candidate prospecting.
5 Develop a communication strategy and campaign around the recruitment of
candidates for ORC. It should be costed and budgeted for. It is also an opportunity
to brand organisation. Develop a clear employer brand; create job posts that
reflect ORC; Use the most appropriate medium (LinkedIn) to target talent; invest
in an applicant tracking system; explore niche job boards; college recruiting; find
passive candidates and let them know you want them; successful employee
referral program; use talent head-hunter;
6 Offer learning opportunities to interviewing panels to be constituted, covering
evaluation expectations to familiarise them with quality considerations for
successful candidate identification and selection.
7 Consider offering signing bonuses to successful candidates in certain grades.
