[Verse 1] Picture this scenario, you're launching something new A product for the market, seems simple what to do But wait before you start it, let's trace each single step And count how many times HR gets involved in prep From hiring the team members to training on the floor Compliance and safety rules, then compensation more Performance evaluations, the culture that you'll build Each touchpoint needs approval before your dream's fulfilled [Chorus] Map the web, trace the thread Every path that lies ahead Sixty to eighty percent they say HR touches every way Count the points, see the grip On each business leadership trip Map the web, understand HR holds the master plan [Verse 2] Opening a new office, sounds like real estate But staffing needs and policies determine your fate Who will work the new location, what benefits they'll need Local labor laws and customs, HR plants every seed Restructuring your team now, moving people around Background checks and interviews, new contracts to be found Exit procedures for some, onboarding for the rest Every single transition puts HR to the test [Chorus] Map the web, trace the thread Every path that lies ahead Sixty to eighty percent they say HR touches every way Count the points, see the grip On each business leadership trip Map the web, understand HR holds the master plan [Bridge] Take any decision that involves your team Draw lines to every checkpoint, see the wider scheme You'll be surprised to discover just how deep it goes The dependency web that nobody really knows [Chorus] Map the web, trace the thread Every path that lies ahead Sixty to eighty percent they say HR touches every way Count the points, see the grip On each business leadership trip Map the web, understand HR holds the master plan [Outro] So grab your pen and paper, start mapping what you see The grip is tighter than you thought, but knowledge sets you free
