Best Practices
One Organization per Company
Most companies should have one organization. This keeps:

Use Teams for Structure
Don't create separate organizations for departments. Instead, use Teams to organize people within your organization.
Keep Admins Limited
Grant admin access sparingly. Most team members only need Member access.
