“A Workplace filled with and driven by employees with positive attitudes vibrates continually to the tune of service, excellence and passionate team success”. - Ty Howard

What we need to know about organisational structure?

A successful organisation is not just a collection of parts; it’s a whole, the sum of all its parts working together to make it all happen. A structure is a basic platform that forms an organisation’s backbone; without a framework, nothing can be built.

In simpler terms, organisational structure is like a blueprint that outlines how different parts of a company or organization fit together, who is responsible for what, how decisions are made, and how information is communicated throughout the organisation. Here are the elements of organisational structure that work together to create a framework that supports the goals and objectives of an organisation and enables it to function effectively and efficiently.

Hierarchy: The levels of authority and decision-making within the organisation, typically represented as an organizational chart.

Departments or functions: The various functional areas or teams within the organisation, such as marketing, finance, operations, or human resources.

Job roles and descriptions: They outline the precise duties and obligations connected to each position inside the company.

Communication channels: The formal and informal methods used for communication within the organisation. This can include regular meetings, emails, instant messaging, or other forms of communication that facilitate information sharing and collaboration.

Decision-making processes: The formal or informal procedures used to make decisions within the organisation.

Culture and values: The shared beliefs and values that guide the behavior and decision-making of employees within the organisation.

Reporting relationships: the chain of command that establishes who reports to whom and who is responsible for which tasks.
