# Create and use employee groups

> Create reusable OHS.training employee groups to speed up training assignments across teams, departments, or locations.

Groups are reusable selections of employees. Use them to assign training to the same set of people, such as a team, department, or location.

## Create a group

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open + New > Employee group">
    From the global **+ New** menu, select **Employee group**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name the group">
    Give the group a clear name so administrators recognise it when assigning training.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select employees">
    Choose the employees who belong in this group.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the group">
    Select **Create group**. The group is now available when you assign training.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## How groups work with assignments

* Groups are a **selection helper**. When you assign training to a group, a separate assignment is created for each employee.
* **Changing group membership does not change assignments that already exist.** Existing assignments stay with the employees who had them.
* To assign the same module to new group members, create a new assignment for those employees. Existing assignments are skipped rather than duplicated.
