There are several creative ways to make an organizational chart more engaging. First, ensure that your chart isn't too large and overwhelming. If necessary, create multiple charts for different departments or divisions. Use shapes and colors consistently to denote different roles and divisions. Add pertinent information about your staff, such as contact information, location, clients or specialties. Show assistants with a sidebar below the manager to denote their role while still clearly showing the manager's direct reports. Lastly, pay attention to spacing to make your chart easier on the eyes.
Question was asked on:
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.
