It is a surprising fact that many employees that leave their jobs within a few months of starting do so due to the structure of their role not evidently clear or ultimately not what was expected. More so, the structure of the business itself can greatly affect the day to day workings of all employees

Most organisational structures are not the result of a small planning group meticulously working for hours, throwing ideas left right and centre and eventually penning the perfect structure for the business. They are the result of an evolution.

Problems arising from a lack of company/job role structure:

1. Employees may argue over tasks they were not initially taken on to do

2. New employees are neglected as no-one can spare the time to show them the ropes

3. An employees working day involves far more ‘wasted’ minutes when they’re unsure of their next task

One of the worst things that can be done is to just alter with an existing structure that is clearly not working.

One way of making the structure of your company clear is by creating a chart that clearly shows what is occurring on a day by day/ week by week basis for both the employee and the business itself. Put this in an accessible place and make it visually appealing yet clear to follow.

This way the structure of the business and the employee’s role are transparent for all to see, which will ultimately save on any surprise exits!
