Impact of Restructuring Organization Positions

It is important to recognize the impact of restructuring organization positions has on organization reporting. For example, certain positions within an organization might become redundant or change; however, these same positions might still define relationships between users and supervisors. The users assigned to the positions should be reassigned to new positions; their supervisors will need to be assigned to reporting positions. Most organizations are accustomed to managing organization charts which focus on people rather than positions. Extra care should be given when shifting positions within the organization so that users not only are assigned to a position because of their jobs and roles in an organization unit, but also, they should report to the appropriate supervisors.
