class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">organization chart<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is a visual representation of the internal structure of a company in the form of a diagram. This diagram showcases employees and their positions using boxes or other shapes. It can also include images of employees, their contact information, emails, and web page links. Some charts use symbols or other illustrations to represent employees and their roles. Employee levels are linked using straight or elbowed lines.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Org charts<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can be drawn for various purposes and structured in different ways. One major purpose of an organizational chart is to showcase the reporting relationships and the flow of command within the company. It can also be used for planning purposes or as a personnel directory.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When talking about the structure of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">organization charts<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, the most common structure is the hierarchical model. It displays the employees of management and other high-level positions on top while showing the low-level employees at the bottom. A glance at the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">org chart<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> will give anyone a better understanding of the layout of the organization, including the number of levels and the position of each employee there.<\/span>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Organizational_Charts\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Types of Organizational Charts<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are several organizational chart types that a company can use. Following are the most popular <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">types of organizational chart types <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">available these days.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hierarchical_Org_Chart\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hierarchical Org Chart<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21674\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Hierachical-Org-chart-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Hierachical-Org-chart-scaled.jpg 2560w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Hierachical-Org-chart-300x200.jpg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Hierachical-Org-chart-1024x683.jpg 1024w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Hierachical-Org-chart-768x512.jpg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Hierachical-Org-chart-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Hierachical-Org-chart-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As mentioned earlier, this is the most common <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">organizational structure<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, arranged in a pyramid shape. The top level employees like the CEO are on top while the low-level or entry level employees remain at the bottom. The command chain flows from top to bottom. We can gain a clear understanding of the level of authority and responsibility by looking at this type of chart. Moreover,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> hierarchical organizational structure<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> offers a specialty to each employee and shows to whom each employee should report to.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Divisional_Organizational_Chart\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Divisional Organizational Chart\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Divisional-Organizational-Structure.png\" alt=\"Divisional Organizational Chart\u00a0is one of the popular organizational chart types\" width=\"1980\" height=\"860\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Divisional-Organizational-Structure.png 1980w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Divisional-Organizational-Structure-300x130.png 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Divisional-Organizational-Structure-1024x445.png 1024w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Divisional-Organizational-Structure-768x334.png 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Divisional-Organizational-Structure-1536x667.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1980px) 100vw, 1980px\" \/>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A divisional organizational structure allows each division to manage its own resources. Thus, those divisions can function independently as separate companies under the main organization. Each division can maintain their <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">own marketing team<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, sales team or IT team.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This structure is well-suited for large organizations as it allows those departments to make decisions without always depending on the top management.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Matrix_Organizational_Chart\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Matrix Organizational Chart<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21676\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/matrix-organizational-structure.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1319\" height=\"772\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/matrix-organizational-structure.jpg 1319w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/matrix-organizational-structure-300x176.jpg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/matrix-organizational-structure-1024x599.jpg 1024w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/matrix-organizational-structure-768x450.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1319px) 100vw, 1319px\" \/>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">matrix organizational chart<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is one of the popular organizational chart types that looks like a grid, deviating from the traditional hierarchy and providing a more dynamic view of the organization. The special thing about these charts is that they depict the multi-functional teams that work on specific projects. While each team will have a project manager, the employees will also report to a functional manager.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For instance, an engineer will always work under the engineering department managed by the engineering manager. Yet, sometimes he might be assigned to a certain project led by a project manager. So he will have to report to multiple managers at the same time.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This way, matrix organizational charts highlight both the vertical as well as the horizontal communication flow in an organization. This structure creates a more dynamic and flexible work environment by breaking down the vertical silos. It allows shifting resources to positions they are needed and encourages more open communication.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Flat_Organizational_Chart\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Flat Organizational Chart<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21677\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Flat-Organizational-Chart.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2094\" height=\"1253\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Flat-Organizational-Chart.jpg 2094w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Flat-Organizational-Chart-300x180.jpg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Flat-Organizational-Chart-1024x613.jpg 1024w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Flat-Organizational-Chart-768x460.jpg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Flat-Organizational-Chart-1536x919.jpg 1536w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Flat-Organizational-Chart-2048x1225.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2094px) 100vw, 2094px\" \/>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">flat org chart<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, which is also known as the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">horizontal org chart<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, are well-suited for organizations with fewer levels between the senior management and staff. This kind of structure offers a great decision making power for each employee and allows implementing new ideas faster. It also empowers employees for self management without much supervision.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This type of structure eliminates the need for middle management levels. Many small or start-up companies tend to use this organizational structure until they expand enough to divide into different departments. However, some organizations have adopted a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">flat organizational structure<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> as it brings up more involvement and open communication between employees at various levels.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Functional_Organizational_Chart\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Functional Organizational Chart<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21678\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Functional-Organizational-Chart.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2238\" height=\"1275\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Functional-Organizational-Chart.jpg 2238w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Functional-Organizational-Chart-300x171.jpg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Functional-Organizational-Chart-1024x583.jpg 1024w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Functional-Organizational-Chart-768x438.jpg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Functional-Organizational-Chart-1536x875.jpg 1536w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Functional-Organizational-Chart-2048x1167.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2238px) 100vw, 2238px\" \/>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A functional organizational chart represents the top-down structure of a company, dividing it into various departments. This type of org charts groups employees with similar skills under a single unit. For instance, there can be marketing, sales, finance, HR, and IT departments.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Each unit will have a department head. All these department heads will report to a common manager who will integrate the functionality of all these departments.<\/span>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uses_Of_Organizational_Charts\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Uses Of Organizational Charts<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Org charts can do much more than simply display different roles and how they relate to each other. Following are some common uses of organizational charts.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Organizational_and_Managerial_Communication\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Organizational and Managerial Communication<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since organizational charts clearly illustrate employee relationships, each employee will know whom they should contact for assistance. A good org chart will depict the responsibilities of each employee and who is involved in specific projects. It will clear up the lines of communication and improve the efficiency of the employee by reducing time waste.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reorganizing\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reorganizing<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Org charts give managers a bird\u2019s eye view of their workforce. It helps them to identify which departments need more employees and which ones are overstaffed. Thus they can reorganize the duties of employees to balance-out the teams. Additionally, managers can delegate tasks properly to best-suit the talents of each employee.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Organizing_the_Workforce\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Organizing the Workforce<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Organizational charts help managers organize the workforce within the company. They can know which positions need new hires and which current employees require training, increments, appraisals, and promotions. This way, the management will be able to anticipate the skill and talent gaps and address the management needs. They can also be more proactive in recruiting and conduct training with better planning.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Planning_for_Resources\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Planning for Resources<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Org charts help to allocate resources in an effective way. You can rearrange their responsibilities and workload to improve efficiency. Moreover, org charts point out opportunities for career advancement of\u00a0 employees. They help to identify the potential shifts and the necessary skills to reach those positions. Since org acts as visual ladders depicting all these facts, you can move employees vertically to match their career goals.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mythology\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mythology<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some org charts offer a mythological representation of employees, including their pictures, designation, contact numbers and other links. It helps new employees and other stakeholders to recognize those personal even before meeting them. Family tree is also a kind of organizational chart which makes use of mythology to illustrate family members.<\/span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Limitations_Of_Organizational_Charts\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Limitations Of Organizational Charts<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite many benefits org charts offer, they can also have some limitations.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Become_Obsolete\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Become Obsolete<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While an outdated org chart is useless, keeping them often up-to-date is a burden, especially for large organizations. Many changes can happen inside an organization within a short period of time. For instance, employees can resign, shift departments or allocated new roles. Thus, it is difficult and time-consuming to reflect all these changes in an org chart and keep them continuously up-to-date.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Formal_Connections\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Formal Connections<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is one of the significant limitations of an org chart. Not all connections within an organization are formal and there are informal connections as well. Org charts only capture the official and well-defined connections and fail to showcase the informal connections. However, these informal communication channels are essential for the operations of the company and the inability to reflect them will create communication gaps.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Management_Approach\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Management Approach<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While org charts display the flow of authority within an organization, they fail to display how that authority will be applied. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thus, the managerial philosophy behind that authority structure is hidden in an organizational chart.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Organigraphs\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Organigraphs<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Organizational charts focus more on the lines of authority, and the responsibilities of different employees. Thus, it&#8217;s more like a reflection of a job structure in the company. However, if you want to know more about the links between individuals and departments of a company, you will find an organigraph really helpful.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/jquery-organizational-chart-its-not-as-difficult-as-you-think\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">JQuery organization chart<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is an ideal option for creating a stunning <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/how-to-make-an-organizational-chart-for-a-company\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">organizational chart for a company<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
