Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to improve the existing work organization, thus improving success of business process and ultimately reducing company costs. A change in organizational structure is proposed with the objective of achieving better and more efficient use of resources available within the company. Since the existing organization and classification of jobs does not meet the requirements of the age we live in, there is a need for new classification which would address many changes that have taken place over the years, including changes that are yet to be made for the purpose of further development of the company. Organization and management of the company as well as reorganization and implementation of a new classification is necessary to make it possible for the company to perform regular adjustment of business activities, because the conditions in which the company operates are changing fast. New classification would not actually change the number of sectors. Rather, existing personnel would be allocated in a better way, which would result in reduced needs for seasonal work force. In the process of defining the new organizational structure, one should consider the type, way of doing business, structural variables (division of labour, unity of command, authority and responsibility, span of control, division in business units, etc.). Expected results include improved organization and classification of jobs, improved quality of work, speed and efficiency. It should result in a company organized according to standards that are adjusted to modern times.
