How can an organizational chart assist in improving the workflow

An organizational chart can assist in improving the workflow within a company by providing a clear visual representation of the company's structure. It helps in understanding the hierarchy and the roles of different employees, which can lead to better communication and coordination. It can also help in identifying any gaps or overlaps in roles and responsibilities, which can then be addressed to improve efficiency. Moreover, it can assist in planning and implementing changes in the organizational structure to adapt to changing business needs.

Right size it – ensure that your chart isn't too large and overwhelming. "If you need to create three charts rather than one, do it. This way, your audience can get an overview of the organizational structure, then take a deeper dive into departments or divisions when they're ready," Reddigari recommends. Use shapes and colors consistently – use the same shape for supervisors, another shape for mid-level employees and a different one for junior employees. Also, choose one color for each division in your company and use it consistently. Add pertinent information – add details about your staff, such as contact information, location, clients or specialties so it's clear who does what and where, if someone's looking for help. Show assistants with a sidebar below the manager – Reddigari says this helps denote the assistant role while still clearly showing the manager's direct reports. Pay attention to spacing – make your chart easier on the eyes by keeping boxes equidistant from each other.
