If you're an admin, if you'd like all departments within your company to be visible to all employees, then you can easily set up this feature by accessing your "Settings".
From your settings, click "General" on the left side.
At the bottom of the page, you'll notice a section titled "Privacy".
Flip the toggle switch on, to allow all employees within your company to view all departments including who is in each department.
Click "Save" to save your changes.
With department visibility on: from the Overview page, your employees will be able to switch between the various departments.
By selecting "All departments" users can view all employees within the company.
With department visibility off: from the Overview page, your employees will only be able to select departments, of which they're a member of.
For example, in the photo below, Noélia is only a part of the sales department.
This is the overview she'll see of her department.
Because Noélia is the manager of the sales department, she also sees the vacation deductible in the blue bubbles next to the employees' photos, whereas regular employees cannot.
