Org Chart - How to navigate, add, remove, move and copy boxes.


The Organizational charts are designed to give everyone in the company an understanding of what each team member is accountable for. It includes their function (seat in the organization) and their roles (tasks/results for which they are accountable). 

Note: Having a clear understanding of your function and roles and those of your team members empowers people to be responsible and accountable for their results. It also makes it easy to know who you can go to when you need help.
