Organisation Units represent the structural divisions of your company — such as divisions, departments, or teams. They can be arranged into a hierarchy (e.g. a division containing multiple departments) and are used to group employees, track headcount, and analyse compensation by unit.

Navigate to Job Architecture → Organization Units to manage them.

The Organization Units List

The list shows all organisation units with key metrics per row: Name, Parent, Employees, Sub-Units, Status, and a range of salary columns.

Display Properties

Click the display properties icon (top right of the list) to customise which columns are shown. Available fields are: Name, Parent, Employees, Sub-units, Status, Median Salary, Median Salary (M), Median Salary (F), Average Salary, Average Salary (M), Average Salary (F), and Gender Pay Gap.

Adding the gender-split salary columns or Gender Pay Gap lets you compare pay equity across units directly from the list.

Grouping, filtering and sorting

Use the No grouping dropdown to group units by a field, Filter to narrow the list, and click any column header to sort.

Creating an organisation unit

Click + New Unit in the top-right corner. The creation dialog has four fields:

Name — the unit's name (e.g. "Engineering Team", "Product Department").
Description — a brief explanation of the unit's purpose and responsibilities.
Parent Unit — where this unit sits in the hierarchy. Defaults to No Parent (Root Level) for top-level units; select an existing unit to create a sub-unit.
Managers (optional) — assign one or more employees as managers of this unit.

Click Create to save. The unit will appear in the list and its depth in the hierarchy (e.g. Level 1, Level 2) will be set automatically.

The Organization Unit Record

Click any unit to open its record. The record has three tabs and a persistent sidebar.

Overview tab

The Overview tab has three sections:

Unit Information — shows the unit's name, its position in the hierarchy (Parent, defaulting to Root Unit if none), and a Managers field where you can add or remove Organization Unit managers.
Description — a free-text description of the unit. Toggle the Edit switch to start writing.
Custom Fields — any custom fields configured for Organisation Unit records in Settings appear here.

Employees tab

Lists all employees assigned to this unit, showing each employee's name, email, Position, and Status. Use the search or filter options to find specific employees within the unit.

Positions tab

Lists all positions assigned to this unit, showing Position name, Job Level, Employee count, and Status. If no positions have been assigned, the tab shows a "No positions found" state.

Sidebar

The right sidebar is visible across all three tabs and contains two sections:

Key Metrics — live counts of Employees, Positions, Sub-units, and Managers linked to this unit.
Unit Details — the unit's Name, Parent (editable, defaults to Root Unit), Status (Active/Inactive), and Depth (e.g. Level 1 for root-level units, Level 2 for sub-units, and so on).
