Introduction
Departments in an organization are distinct functional units or divisions that group employees based on their specific expertise, tasks, or functions. Each department is responsible for carrying out specific activities related to their area of specialization and contributes to the overall goals and objectives of the organization. Common departments in organizations include Finance, Human Resources, Marketing, Sales, Operations, and IT.
With BizGaze’s “Departments” app organizations can effectively manage and organize their departments by providing tools for structure definition, communication, resource allocation, performance tracking, workflow management, and promoting organizational transparency.
