Feeling Overlooked? Should I Ask My VP Why I'm Missing from the Company Org Chart?

How important is it to have one's name in the company organogram or organization chart?

My name is not in the organogram, and I am a senior executive in Information Management. Please suggest if I should talk to my VP regarding this.

Yes, you may talk to the senior and discuss with him why your name is missing from the organogram. You need to find out whether it was due to oversight or done deliberately. If the former, then it is okay, but if the latter, then you need to find out what has gone wrong.

By the way, you say that you are a "Senior Executive." In that case, you also need to introspect and assess whether your post justifies your senior position. By reading your post, one gets a feeling that you are a greenhorn! Why did you feel that other senior members of this forum will accept your casualness that you would know best!

Thanks,

It's told as I do. Confidential reports were not kept in the organogram. I still have a feeling that it's not right. I wanted to know if all organizations keep their employees in information management as hidden?

In the organogram of the company, normally the designation or position is mentioned, and not the name. Certainly, your HOD's name must have been mentioned. You may contact him and ask for the organogram details of your department, and it must be included therein.
