      <Paragraph>An employee group is an organizational unit of employees. For
		further grouping you can link the employee groups to employee group types;
		these are labels for categorizing employee groups. You can link an employee
		group to an activity, but not to a complete business process. The figure shows
		the relationships between employees, employee groups, and employee group
		types.</Paragraph>
