Interesting reporting structure. Is this type of arrangement common/recommended?
ReplyDeleteGenerally speaking, each organization is likely to have its own reporting structure depending on the organizational structures, cultures, needs,...etc. The fundamental question is whether such reporting structure can function effectively in providing upward feedback and maintaining (perceived and actual) independence and confidentiality.
ReplyDeleteTo my knowledge, this reporting structure is not common in higher education institutions. However, the functionality and effectiveness of this new reporting structure await to be seen.
