Work segregation

2011
sweden

Work segregation refers to the practice of dividing tasks and responsibilities among different individuals or groups within an organization based on their skills, expertise, or other criteria. This segregation helps to ensure that each individual is assigned tasks that align with their abilities and qualifications, thereby improving overall efficiency and productivity. It also helps to prevent conflicts and simplify decision-making processes within the organization. Work segregation can help to promote specialization and expertise in specific areas, leading to better outcomes for the organization as a whole.
