Who Should Be Included in the Organizational Chart? Seeking Clarity on Key Positions and Non-Executive Directors

Please let me know which positions need to be included in the org chart. As far as I know, the main org chart includes only the key positions or the top management, and there are separate charts for every department. Kindly correct me if I am wrong.

Also, please clarify if non-executive directors are also shown in the org chart.

An early reply in this regard would be highly appreciated.

If you are preparing an org chart of the entire organization, you need not include each and every position. However, you should include important departments like Finance, HR & Admin, Marketing, Technical, and Operations. Under each department, you can mention the number of employees in senior management, middle management, and junior management levels.

Separate charts for each department with all the positions included need to be prepared.

Neetu, you are right. Also, adhere to what Kanduri said. You don't need to put everything from top to bottom. I don't know how that will appear even on an A4 page. Just maintain an important face of Admin-Finance, etc. Make sure all of them appear on just one page, not spilling over into several sheets. The organizational structure should be positioned at the front and rear of the organization, and a copy should be available in each department with the structure of that department beside it. That's all I can say.

Organizational Chart Presentation

The org chart is prepared and documented, including every role in the organization. However, the chart is presented in parts for various requirements as shared below:

1. For business and sales presentations, you would present the primary leaders, business units, and show an overview of the lines of reporting.
2. If you have to use this diagram during a presentation to the operations team, include the leaders and reportees with names and designations.
3. During induction, you present the overview of the main chart, with top leaders, business units, and reporting structures with designations. Unless the person is vital, you don't mention the name.
4. Finally, every department should have a printout of the org chart, including information flow and reporting structures, pasted on the notice board in full view of everyone. The reporting structures will include the matrix and by-lanes. Here, this structure may include roles and not the names.

Please do revert if you have further queries.

(Cite Contribution) is right. It all depends on the PURPOSE of the Organizational Chart. Depending on the 'why' of it, the details would change accordingly, with the 'relevance for the purpose' being in focus all the while.

Hi (Cite Contribution), Thanks a lot for all the effort made by you. Actually, I have to prepare this org chart for getting our company ISO registered and for credit rating. Kindly guide me on what positions to include and whether I have to include non-executive directors as well.

Hi All, We are a start-up company with nearly 100 employees. I recently joined as an HR in a BPO company. Can anyone help me in designing a structure for it? I would be pleased if anyone shares documents with information about departments, hierarchy levels, roles, and responsibilities of each of them.

Thank you,
