Hierarchy in Belgium
In Flanders, organisational structures tend to be flat and procedures are easily comprehensible. Things like job title and size of office are likely to be of less importance than a good salary. Although the superior remains the final decision-maker at all times, Flemish employees prefer a manager who allows his/her subordinates to co-decide.
Compared to Flanders, the relationship between superiors and subordinates in Wallonia still tends to be rather formal. Similar to the French, most Walloons value a well-structured organisation with a clear hierarchy and true leadership. Likewise, someone's rank and title, a person's competences and function within a company, size of an office etc., are quite important factors.
