| Overview
The organization/program should maintain
documentation of the current leadership
structure, identifying who reports to whom.
This is most commonly found in the form
of an organizational chart. The chart is
made available to clients and personnel.
Accreditation Requirement(s)
- Current leadership structure is defined
via an organizational chart, which may
include a narrative description of jobs
(positions) and reporting lines.
- There is easy access to this information
for clients and staff members.
Implementation Tips
Some Implementation Tips provided, in part, by Robert Johnson at: www.accreditationnow.com.
- Usually the structure of the organization
is documented via an organizational chart
identifying who reports to whom. This
chart can be easily shared with clients
and employees via posting on the wall
in a common area, such as in a hallway,
on a bulletin board in the lobby, in the
staff kitchen/break room, etc. The organizational
chart can be part of new employee orientation
handouts/handbook and/or client orientation
to services. It is usually found in the
overall policies and procedures notebook
and/or posted on the organization's intranet.
- The organizational chart and/or narrative
description of positions (often in the
case of very small organizations) does
not have to include names associated with
the positions. If the organization chooses
to attach a name to each position listed,
it is important to remember that it will
have to be updated regularly due to employee
turnover and changes in the organizational
structure.
