All of the above

Explanation - 

The organisation would benefit from an informal structure in the following ways.

1. Information spreads quicker because there is no clear communication method or channel.
2. Personal connection beyond the formally established duties is possible in an informal organisation. This unofficial engagement fosters a sense of belonging among employees, both to the company and to one another. Employee turnover is reduced as a result of this.
