Delayering

Every company has a hierarchy system where employees are ranked as per their job positions and designations. It forms a systematic organizational structure as per the authorities employees hold. Delayering is the process of eliminating layers of hierarchy between the highest and lowest level of employees to increase operational efficiency. Delayering generally removes middle managers which provides senior managers easier reach over the organization as a whole and creates required transparency. The process of delayering has its own advantages and disadvantages. The employer can save on salary expenses but the decision-making process in the company may get affected due to reduced sight of senior managers.
