Create a Department

How to create a department and add a description

Create a department in Lattice to group employees. Departments allow users to do the following:

• Filter by department for tool analytics
• Create department-level goals
• Assign department head permissions
• Create custom role admin permissions for departments

Before you start

If your Lattice account is integrated with an HRIS, departments should be created and updated within your HRIS. Lattice will use the HRIS as the source of truth to update employee departments.

Add a new department

1. Navigate to Admin > People > Departments.
2. Click Create department.
3. Add the department name. 
4. (Optional) Add a description for the department.
5. Click Create department.
