  • Encourages creativity
    According to yourarticlelibrary.com article, when employees gain a sense of belonging from being part of an organization as well as being recognized for their skill, their creativity improves.

  • Helps meet business goals through better collaboration
    When employees can visually see where they fit within the company, it is easier to lay out what role they will play in meeting business objectives.

  • Guide employees to know their responsibilities and shows relationships between employees
    When employees can see who they are supposed to report to and who they are working with, it gives them a better idea of their role and responsibilities in the company. Showing relationships between employees helps new hires or transfers meet and recognize each other and show’s who is who.

  • Easier to view promotional opportunities for employees
