If your organization is not operating as effectively as you think it should be, you may have a problem with your corporate structure. A good organizational structure should promote creativity among employees and unleash their potential, rather than stifling progress.

Here are some ways you can alter your organizational structure to make it more effective.

Encourage employees to take ownership

Employees are always much more productive when they feel they have a stake in the outcome of their labors. If you can provide employees with a sense of ownership, that will make everyone much more accountable for their actions, and by placing them in the right roles, you can ensure that they will take more ownership in the company.

Don’t box people in

Your employees should not feel constrained by borders which you impose on them, but they should feel free to grow as professionals, in the same way that you want your business to grow. Provide your employees with opportunities to be more flexible about accomplishing their work, and empower them with the means to do their work more effectively.

Build employee trust

Achieving company goals is always much easier when your corporate structure allows relationships to be developed which are built on commitment and trust. Your corporate structure should be such that it promotes open communication with employees, accountability, consistency, management support, and a genuine concern for all employee interests.

Develop a sense of community

People can always accomplish a great deal more when they are working together, rather than as single entities. By promoting a corporate structure which supports that sense of community, you’ll be providing employees with the motivation they need to collaborate more with their peers, thus achieving more. If you can establish a sense of shared purpose among all your employees, you’ll have a much greater chance of achieving company goals and objectives.
