What is changing

• Teams is now called Groups. This is a name change only; all references to "Teams" within Employment Hero have been updated to "Groups."
• Groups can be found in Settings. You'll find "Groups" under Settings in the People section of the platform.

Why we're making this change

• "Groups" better reflects how customers use the feature. Most users have been using "Teams" to create flexible groupings of employees (e.g., project teams, departments), so the term "Groups" is more intuitive.

• We're making room for a new "Teams" feature. This update clears the way for a separate, upcoming functionality that will introduce a brand new way to manage actual organisational teams.

What is not changing 

• Permissions are not changing in this update.

• Data migration is not changing—your existing Teams (now Groups) will remain unchanged.

• There is no impact on reporting lines.

• Groups will continue to function the same as Teams have—this is a terminology change only.
