Groping Pages Per Department Option

The easiest way is to add categories to pages.

You can use a plugin for that:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-category-to-pages/

Or if u are using a child theme, insert this code in functions.php in your child theme directory:

function myplugin_settings() {  
    // Add tag metabox to page
    register_taxonomy_for_object_type('post_tag', 'page'); 
    // Add category metabox to page
    register_taxonomy_for_object_type('category', 'page');  
}
 // Add to the admin_init hook of your theme functions.php file 
add_action( 'init', 'myplugin_settings' );

Another way is to create custom posts. there are plugins for this as well.

The difference is that a post can have multiple categories, while custom posts are like posts, or pages. in fact you are adding another post type beside the default posts and pages.
