Thanks for the responses. The structure is already hardcoded, so i'm trying to get away from that.

I have one additional issue, and I believe it will fit in just fine to the proposed model. The issue is that there is also a group type "CUSTOM", which can mix and match employees from different teams. It's mainly used to group employees together that do similiar jobs, but are in different parts of the company.

Side note, but this forum doesn't play well with mozilla
