workplace organization

Collective bargaining group

Workplace organization refers to systems for arranging physical spaces, tools, and workflows for efficiency—keeping desks clear, files accessible, supplies in designated spots.

The term also describes labor unions or the process of forming them: The company fought workplace organization efforts by firing activists.

Context usually makes clear which meaning applies.
