# Departments

The **Departments** page in Navixy's **Field service** module allows you to organize your workforce by categorizing employees into specific departments. This organizational structure helps streamline task assignments, reporting, and overall management of field operations.

You can assign employees to departments on the [Staff](/docs/user/guide/field-service/staff.md#assign-employee-to-department) page.

The department list is used to manage different departments in your organization. Each department can be labeled, such as "Delivery" or "Sales," to reflect the specific function of the team.
