Answers.Text: Suggest you ask that question as a separate question and explain a bit more perhaps with an example on the WP demo site. I have no idea with WP how you would have someone login, whose own dashboard is at civicrm/user?reset=1 and then grab their permissioned employer id and take them to eg civicrm/user?reset=1&id=208.

  If the Organization is the Member, then you need the Membership Type to be set to use the "Employer of" relationship. If you go [here](http://d46.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/admin/member/membershipType/add?action=add&reset=1) and click on the '?' next to Relationship Type it says
  
  Relationship Type: Employer of
  
  Direct member is: an organisation
  
  Membership is automatically granted to: 'Employees' of that organization
