Employee groups and Employee group types

An employee group is an organizational unit of employees. For further grouping you can link the employee groups to employee group types; these are labels for categorizing employee groups. You can link an employee group to an activity, but not to a complete business process. The figure shows the relationships between employees, employee groups, and employee group types.
