Delayering - GCSE Business Definition

Reviewed by: Lisa Eades

Published

Delayering is a business strategy that involves reducing the number of levels in an organisation's structure to improve communication, increase decision-making speed and cut costs.

By removing layers of management, companies aim to create a flatter organisational structure, allowing for more direct interaction between senior management and lower-level employees. This approach can lead to increased efficiency and a more responsive business environment.
