What is an Organization Chart?
An ORG chart is a visual representation of a company's structure that shows the relationships among departments, employees, and their functions. The ORG board or chart gives the opportunity to describe the functions of a department, showing the various positions held in order of seniority. This helps employees get a clear overview of how the various levels of a company are organized and how they fit into the structure of the company.
Benefits of an ORG chart.
There are so many benefits to having an organizational chart for your company, including:
1. Provides clear lines of authority and business reporting. Employees know who to report to and who to contact if a work-related issue arises. This saves time, as employees are able to quickly access information instead of asking questions and sending emails.
2. Provide a clearer understanding of employee roles and responsibilities.
3. Improve employee relations. By adding photographs and personal information, you can help break the ice between employees. It can also help employees connect faces with names.
4. Help new employees learn the names and roles within the company. This is especially useful as new starters can often feel overwhelmed with information when they first join the company. A chart can help them understand how they fit into the company and who they will be working with.
5. Illustrate clear lines of growth opportunities and give employees something to aspire to
