What are Organisations ?


The Organisations sub-module is used to display and manage your company's Organisational Chart. An Organisation is an umbrella term for the different departments and teams you may have within your company's organisation chart. Different levels of Organisations are often known as Divisions, Departments, Sections, Teams in Different Locations or Stores etc. Employees within an organisation are considered to be team members. 


There are 4 Components of your Organisation Chart to keep in mind, all of which can be likened to the process of building a house:


Structure - You must build the structure of your house, and decide how many floors (levels) it will have. This must be built before moving to the next step.

Organisations - Think of each organisation as a room in your house. They are meant to separate the functions of your employees. Imagine each bedroom having a theme.

Positions - Positions can be considered the beds that exist in each room. Each person must have a bed to sleep in. You will not be able to move a person in this room if they do not have a bed available.

Employees - These are the people who will be moving into your 'House'. Ensure everything has been built properly before trying to move them in.


What are Positions? 


Positions are the Job Title that each employee holds in the company. Vacant Positions must be created in each organisation for an employee to fill before being able to add a New Hire into your altHR Company Account. Admins are able to change an employees position within the company when needed - such as to move them to a different department or to hold a different title.
