My current organization that I work for is Active Family Fitness. I am the Fitness Manager of the Kansas City location, there are 9 other locations in Texas. As the Fitness Manager I am responsible for all new members with a personal trainer. I am head of 15 personal trainers, making sure their job at hand is correctly done. Also make sure sales are up and clients keep coming to their trainers for a long term client relationship. I only have 2 people above my position, the Area Director of Fitness and The Area Director of Operations. These people I report to on a daily basis. With our organization on how it works, it is a prime example of a formal structure, but also involves informal structure, with their being other branching companies.
Formal Organization is a good concept to involve with Active Family Fitness. Formal organization shows the up and down movement through an organization. This shows how we operate, from the Director of Operations, to the Area Director of Fitness, To fitness managers, to General Managers. Each of these positions, have a group of employees they are in charge of keeping up with. Managing their employees at a structured level to keep them in line and make sure their priority of their job is being upheld on a daily basis.
“Because of the complex nature of organizations and constantly shifting performance demands, informal structures can be very helpful in accomplishing large and small tasks. Through the emergent and spontaneous relationships of informal structures, people gain access to interpersonal networks of emotional support and friendship that satisfy important social needs. They also benefit from contact with others who can help them better perform their jobs and tasks.
Valuable learning and knowledge sharing takes place as people interact informally throughout the workday and in a variety of unstructured situations (Kramer). “
