A structural unit is a part of an enterprise or organization whose employees are engaged in performing a certain type of work. A subdivision can be isolated or internal. For the first type of structural units, there is a common name - a branch. Internal divisions are named based on the direction of their activities and in accordance with the traditions prevailing in a particular professional field.
Instructions
Step 1
Determine the group to which the structural unit belongs. Labor organization specialists distinguish three main groups: administrative divisions, production and service divisions.
Step 2
Administrative divisions include management (general director, heads of directions, deputies), accounting, secretariat, personnel service. In small organizations, the administrative division may include all services that are not directly involved in production. Generalizing names are most suitable for their designation: directorate, administration, administrative and managerial personnel, etc.
Step 3
Production units are those structural units that deal with various tasks within the main line of business of an enterprise or organization. This is the largest group of units. It consists of several levels: management, department, service, department, sector.
Step 4
Departments and departments are most often named by their field of activity: finance management, planning management, personnel management, marketing and public relations department, etc.
Step 5
In large organizations, management is divided into departments. These small structural units provide the implementation of specific tasks within the global direction. Their names should reflect precisely the area of responsibility of the unit. There are practically no restrictions, the main thing is that there is no feeling of confusion and duplication of functions. So, within the personnel management, one can distinguish: the personnel development department, the labor organization and safety department, the rate setting and labor remuneration department, etc.
Step 6
Division into sectors is rare. It makes sense in the case when a certain direction of work is very significant for the organization and needs increased control. The sector name reflects its specific functions, for example, the payroll sector in the accounting department.
Step 7
At industrial enterprises, the names of production structural divisions are used, which indicate their products: a workshop for preliminary processing of fabric, a foundry, a workshop for the production of sausages, a turning workshop, etc.
Step 8
Auxiliary units are engaged in economic activities and ensure the safety of an enterprise or organization. Most often they are called services or departments: security service, administrative department, supply department, etc.
Step 9
Do not use ambiguous concepts, foreign words in the name of structural units. Do not make the phrase too long, otherwise it will be difficult to remember. It is optimal to use 3-4 words.
