What are the main differences between Org Units/Teams and Custom Teams in Namely?

Org Units/Teams:

  • Can be imported to and are generally easier to upkeep

  • If selected within the group’s setting, the group can display within the team’s page

  • Can be reported via the Namely Reporting Engine

  • Used for filters within performance, time off, and other Namely features

  • Will display directly in employee profiles

  • Groups will not impact the org chart --Teams & Allocations will populate the org chart in the “People” tab

Custom Teams:

  • More manual and can not be imported to

  • Often utilized for project management, employee engagement councils or clubs, or the ability to identify different org charts in a company besides the standard org chart found in the “People” tab

  • Allow for more customization and a more granular look into team setups

  • Allow for separate job titles from an employee’s job title in their profile

  • Allow for team-specific reporting within the Teams tab, such as Headcount, Salaries, etc. (please note custom teams are not reported within the Namely Reporting Engine like Org Units/Teams)

  • Allow for custom goals that are team-specific

Note: For clients implemented before April 15, 2019, Org Units are known as Groups.
