I have just been promoted as the head of HR, and my VP has asked me to create a hierarchy system or policy where every department, such as HR, Admin, Operations, and Housekeeping, should all report to me. It's a law firm. I don't know much about bringing all these departments together under HR and drafting a Hierarchy policy/System. Can anyone please guide me or help me create or draft it? I need some expert guidance and support for this.

As a law firm, there would be only a very limited Human Resources team working there, much less would be the HR Team. Creating a hierarchy of reporting relationships would depend on the composition of the employees reporting to you. So, create separate roles and responsibilities for each such function and depict it in the Organizational Chart of the HR Department.

HR Head is the head of the organization. What kind of organization is it? HR is a secondary function that supports the operations. Anyway, that is not our area of interest. You may draft the roles and responsibilities of each designation and prepare the organizational structure making everyone report to the HR Head. In order to make the roles and hierarchy system clear, each role should be defined properly. Better communication would solve any problems and confusions that may arise in the future.

Basically, position will be head of HR & Admin, create divisions like HR, Admin, Security etc and mark leading positions/persons on it. All such divisions will report of Head of HR & Admin.

If you are operating at multiple locations, you may consider a Matrix-type organization. In a Matrix organization, there will be HR operating teams located at different locations with the Head of HR function at the Head Office and Unit-level HR Sections at the different locations. Such Sectional Heads will be reporting administratively to the respective location heads (for leave, day-to-day issues, etc.) and functionally reporting to the HR Head at the Head Office. The Sectional heads will have dual reporting relationships: one for functional reporting to the Head of HR and the other for administrative reporting to the Unit Head. This type of structure is prevalent in MNCs, multi-location corporates, etc.
