In medium and large companies, teams are often organized into Divisions and Departments to keep the structure clear. A Division represents a broad functional group—such as Tech, HR, or Sales—while the Departments under each Division focus on specific areas like Web Development, Mobile Development, or Domestic Sales.

Linking Divisions with their Departments helps companies manage employees properly, keep the organization structure organized, run accurate reports, and make the Employee Directory easy to navigate. In Better HR, setting up this link ensures employees appear under the correct organizational group.


Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Add a New Division

1. Go to Settings

From the main menu, click the User Icon and navigate to the Settings section.

2. Find the Division Section

Select the Employee tab and locate the Division Management section.

3. Click “+ Add Division”

At the bottom of the Division list, click + Add Division.

4. Create a New Division

In the Division Name field, enter the name of the Division (e.g., Tech Division).
Click Create Division.

You will now see the newly created Division displayed in the list.


Step 2: Link the Division to a Department

  1. Go to the Employee Departments section above Division Session.

  2. Choose the Department(s) that belong under this Division.

  3. Link the Tech Division with its relevant Department(s), such as Web Department or Mobile Department.

This ensures the Division and Department appear correctly together in the Employee Directory.


Step 3: Check in Employee Directory

  1. Open the Employee Directory.

  2. Search for employees assigned to a Department.

  3. You will see the corresponding Division appear alongside the Department name in the Department column.

This helps confirm that your Division–Department linkage is correct.


Step 4: Delete a Division (If Needed)

To remove a Division:

  • Click Delete All Unused Divisions.

  • Only Divisions not linked to any Department can be deleted.
