Departments: Overview

Creating Departments allows you to create an organisational structure to help categorise employees. Having Departments means that:

• Employees who reside within that department will have visibility of the Department-level objectives (even if the employee doesn't directly contribute).
• Employees have visibility of holidays and absences across their department (depending on what permissions have been enabled).
• You can export a clear organisational chart which displays the hierarchy of parent and children departments.
  

You can assign Managers to a department (Department Manager) and this is the individual who will be overall accountable for that department's level objectives.

You can export the org chart in two different ways, both of which are detailed in this guide.
