Matrix Organization - HR Glossary
A matrix organization in the human resources business is a management system in which employees report to several managers, usually both a functional manager and a project manager. This dual reporting technique provides additional flexibility and expertise in complicated projects.
Example
When working on a cross-functional project like organizational restructuring in a matrix organization, an HR expert may report to both the HR department head (functional manager) and a project manager. This assures compliance with HR regulations while meeting project-specific requirements.
