Organisational Chart and Job Descriptions in a Business
Business Strategy / Pat Robards
Is an Organisational Chart and Job Descriptions needed in a Business Strategy?
How does it help in the day to day running of the business?
These aspects in the business is vital in so many areas as it shows:
- How the business operates and where everyone sits.
- The next position you need to delegate so you move up the business.
Add in the job descriptions and you have:
- A job ad for a new staff member.
- Clear requirements of the job including KPI’s
- Training gaps in the new hire.
- Keeping you compliant with Fair Work in cases of discipline and terminations.
The main cause of people leaving their job in Australia in a survey by SEEK is due to poor management and in particular micromanaging.
Clarity and Direction
When you correctly identify the work that can be delegated and accept the responsibilities as a business owner then staff are able to step up and take on their own responsibilities creating better feelings about their work.
Without a roadmap which is what the Organisational Chart with Job descriptions is then everyone in the organisation will most certainly be without direction. We all need clarity.
The Numbers
As in most important things in business it is mainly about being in control and knowing the numbers.
The numbers are the only way to properly measure the performance of the business. Anything else is in most cases a feeling that all is ok. KPI’s give the most clarity to staff and management on performance. Having a strategic plan that includes an Organisation Chart with planned changes helps formulate a budget that is clear and based on a realistic assumptions.
Business Results
As a business owner who wants to scale up the business you need to delegate all the roles to someone else so the only role you must do is the Managing Director. It is a progression from Technician, Supervisor, Manager and finally to Managing Director. The higher you move up the Organisational Chart translates into a business that is more attractive to a buyer and increases in value when you want to sell.
