What is an organization structure?
An organization structure (or org structure) refers to the way in which an organization arranges its employees, departments, and functions to achieve its goals. It provides a framework for how work is organized, how communication flows, and how decisions are made.
Having a well-defined organizational structure helps everyone in the company understand their roles and responsibilities, and it helps the company work more efficiently and effectively.
A typical org structure consists of the following:
1. Legal Entity: Legal entities refer to the different companies or subsidiaries that make up an organization.
2. Business units: Business units refer to the different divisions or departments within each legal entity.
3. Locations: Locations refer to the physical locations where your organization operates.
4. Departments: Departments refer to the different functional areas within each business unit.
How to configure organization structure details?
You can set up org structure details during the initial setup when you are configuring your Keka HR Portal for your organization. You can also make changes to this at any time. Here's how you do both of these.
During Setup
On the Keka Portal, Navigate to Keka Setup. In the Core HR Setup, select Org Setup.
Click on the Add Legal Entity link on this screen to begin configuring these details.
Enter all the details regarding your legal entity such as Establishment ID/Registration Number and other key details.
Adding Organization structure
After saving your legal entity, the next step is adding organization structure. Click on Add Organization's Structure.
In the 'Setup organisation structure' page, you can select if your organisation has single business unit or multiple business units. Next you have to enter the business unit name and select the legal entity that the business unit is associated to, and then click save.
Next you have to add the locations.
Click on +Add location and enter the details and click Add.
On the Keka Portal, Navigate to Org on the left navigation pane and select the Org Structure tab.
Overall, setting up an org structure with legal entities, business units, departments, locations, cost centres, pay groups, and pay bands in Keka requires careful planning and consideration. By following these steps, you can ensure that your organization structure supports your business goals and helps you manage your human resources more effectively.
