# Create and manage teams

_Skileo Human Resources › Employees · Who can do this: Business owner, Member_

Open Teams under Employees and click Add new. Give the team a title, add its employees and click Save. Use teams to find people in the employee list and to group them when you import.

## What a team is

A team is a group of employees, for example "Sales" or "Night shift". An employee can be in several teams. Teams help you find people: the employee list has a “Team” filter.

Open “Employees” in the menu of “Human Resources”, then “Teams”.

## Create a team

1. Click “Add new” at the top right.
2. Give the team a “Title” and, if you like, a “Description”.
3. Under “Employees”, click “Add new”, pick one or more employees and click “Save”.
4. Click “Save” at the bottom of the page.

You can also put an employee in a team from their edit page, under “Teams”. See [Change an employee's details](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/edit-an-employee).

## Change a team

Click the actions button (**⋮**) at the end of the team's line and choose “Edit”.

- To add employees, click “Add new”.
- To take an employee out of the team, click the bin next to their name. “Clear all” takes everyone out.

Click “Save” to keep your changes. Taking an employee out of a team doesn't change anything else about them.

## What you see in the list

Each line shows the team's “Name”, its “Description”, its “Created” date and how many “Employees” it has. Click a team to see its members. The pencil next to a member opens their edit page.

Click “Search” to find a team by its name, and “Export” to download the list.

## Copy or delete a team

In the actions button (**⋮**) of a team:

- “Copy” makes a new team with the same members, named with "Copy" at the end.
- “Delete” deletes the team. Its employees stay in your employee list.

To copy or delete several teams, tick their lines, then use the bar that appears above the list.

> **Good to know**
> A deleted team doesn't go to the “Trash”. It can't be restored.


## Common questions

### Can I put employees in teams when I import them?

Yes. Give the team names in a column of your file, or pick them under “Team for everyone”. See [Import employees from a spreadsheet](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/import-employees-from-a-spreadsheet).

### Do teams show on the organisation chart?

No. The chart shows departments and managers. See [Use the organisation chart](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/use-the-organisation-chart).
