On employee profiles there is only one 'department' function, but medium to larger businesses need multiple connected workgroups, that flow to reporting lines.
i.e. under a work group for 'People Operations' there might be HR, L&D, Recruitment, Organisational Design etc. People Operations might sit under the Chief Operations Officer who in additional to the people operations work groups also has the Business Operations workgroups that need to flow up.
Another example would be IT, Engineering, Quality Assurance, may have multiple departments within each function and also role up to the 'Technology Pillar'.
Basically only have 1 department and no connected workgroups means Access is not suitable for medium- large firms and it would be super if you look at work groups (kind of how the org chart flows but with work groups under pinning it not managers)
Describe the Challenge | Creation of workgroups means better analytics and reporting |
