Using shapes and colors consistently in an organizational chart is important for clarity and understanding. Different shapes can represent different roles or levels within the organization, making it easier to understand the hierarchy and structure at a glance. Consistent use of colors can represent different departments or divisions, helping to visually distinguish between them. This can make the chart easier to read and interpret, especially for larger organizations.

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.
