DOES YOUR AGENCY HAVE AN ORG CHART ?
If your agency is a one-person show , of course you won ’ t have an org chart . But if your agency is bigger than that , do you have an organizational chart that maps out every employee ’ s name , title , the team they belong to and their direct reports ? In a recent poll on VAX , 53 % of people said their agency does not have an org chart because it ’ s too small . As the industry bounces back and your agency gets busier , you ’ re probably going to need to hire more people . In that same poll , 11 % of people said their agency doesn ’ t have an org chart but they wish it did and 32 % said they didn ’ t know . Having an org chart will not only help keep everyone organized , it ’ ll also help your employees know who they ’ re accountable to , understand where they fit in within the agency and see opportunities for their professional growth . It ’ s a win for everyone .
Correction from spring 2021 issue
As luck would have it , the day the spring 2021 issue of The Compass Magazine went to print , the Department of Homeland Security updated the REAL ID deadline from October 1 , 2021 , to May 3 , 2023 . We regret the error and any confusion that may have resulted from it .
