Define Working Groups

Use working groups to create a specific group of employees who cannot be united through any other organizational attributes and assign a manager to this group. You can use this feature to:

• Conduct a performance review where you need to assess a particular group of people and not the whole company
• Assign an approval workflow step
• Assign task in the HR process template 

The managers can view and edit the working groups they are managing from the Manager menu, My Team Details > My Team > My Working Groups. After clicking the group name, they can also see the employees that belong to the working group, but for those who are not their subordinates, only public profile is available.

1. Go to Settings > Settings and Configuration > Core HR.
