depicted in boxes or circles with lines linking them to other employees & departments The Benefits of Organization charts
Organization charts are effective, transparent &
"an org chart makes it easier for people to understand large amounts of information as a visual picture rather than as a table of names & numbers."
Organization charts are also beneficial to new
employees because they help them to better understand their place within an organization. Organizational charts are useful in a number of ways:

relationships. 2. Allow leadership to more effectively manage growth or change. 3. Allow employees to better understand how their work fits into the 4. Organization's overall scheme. 5. Improve lines of communication & create a visual employee directory. Types of organizational charts:
The most common type, work well for defining clear
boundaries between roles & departments, it is where one group or person is at the top, while those with less power are beneath them, it can also create a familial vibe of belonging to teams, which can cultivate stronger collaboration.

they report to, directly. Matrix Organizational Chart:

divided into teams by projects or product lead by a project manager. In a Matrix organizational structure, the reporting are set up as a grid, or matrix. In this type of organizational management, people with similar skills are work together, which facilitate communication & create a flexible, dynamic work environment that emphasize efficiency, creativity. One of the major advantages of this organization structure is the ease of communication between various departments which often leads to more collaboration. Also employees work cross-functionally with various departments so are exposed to multiple project types & ways of thinking. Flat Organizational Chart:
A flat organization type mostly adopted by small
companies & start-ups in their early stage. It has a minimal number of levels of management between employees & executive leaders. The most important thing about this structure is that many levels of middle management are eliminated. This enables employees to make decisions quickly & independently. A well-trained workforce can be more productive by directly getting involved in the decision-making process. The Disadvantages of a Flat Organizational Structure
Bad decisions can be made under the
guise of expertise. It can lead to a lot of wasted time. This structure can limit productivity, it isn't scalable. It can encourage power struggles. It can hinder employee retention. THANK YOU
