"Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work." - Vince Lombardi
Groups of tourists, groups of friends, groups of employees. Groups are essential to how we live, work and go about our day-to-day lives. That's why in the Locomote Corporate Travel Platform, we have given the ability to organise employees via Groups, to easily and logically place travellers, arrangers, authorisers, administrators and other roles into customised groupings.
As the Company Administrator, you can either adopt current groups that your company utilises in other systems so that any department groups or employee groups makes sense, or you can go full maverick and create your own groups for the Locomote platform.
And so you have created an Employee Group and now you need to assign Travellers to Employee Groups. Well, you have certainly come to the right place.
Within the administrator Dashboard you will notice (if you haven't already) a sub-heading titled "Assign Travellers To" and within these modules, you can assign Travellers to anything, from Cost Centres to Employee Groups. If needed you can also remove Travellers from their preferred or specified modules.
