We know how busy everyone is and asking your colleagues to fill out yet another website or tool isn’t an easy task. However, the 5 minutes it takes to sign up and fill out your bio will have astronomical benefits for your company. Here are different ways our users have successfully onboarded their entire teams to The Org:

To help your colleagues buy into the platform, we recommend including some example bios from leadership! Provide that “aha” moment for your teammates by showing them a different and more personalized side of leadership.

Set a deadline for when you’ll be introducing The Org outwardly for candidates. This helps signify the importance of the task and helps create urgency.

Tip: make sure to set a realistic deadline with frequent reminders. We recommend providing a 5-10 business day window.

Starting smaller is okay also! A great starting point is to have all your hiring managers fill out their bios as part of the pre-interview process. As you place jobs in the org chart and attach the hiring manager, it’s an easy way to stand out to candidates who are browsing different job descriptions. Show them exactly who their manager will be and let them envision themselves on the team.

Org charts offer plenty of value for business leaders, but they aren’t just useful to the executive team. Every employee can enjoy the benefits of a public org chart. In fact, an org chart can help you on your first day of work, when working cross-functionally, or even during the hiring process.
