So these individuals are like potential spies inside the organization? To whom would they report?
I've seen a considerable number of people hired who seemed to have no productivity but the idea that they might have a reporting function outside the usual "chain-of-command" (e.g., like communist party political officers in the military) never occurred to me.
serious question: what do they want exactly? give money to disadvantaged folks? give them training? check quota boxes? do they personally care?
