The word you’re looking for is “systemic.”

  • In a medical context, “systemic” means affecting the whole body, not just one organ or area. For example, a “systemic infection” is spread throughout the body.
  • In an organizational context, “systemic” means something that affects the entire organization as a whole, not just one team or department. You’ll also see phrases like “the organization as a whole” or “the whole organization” used to emphasize that every part is included.

So, “systemic” = affecting the whole of a body or organisation, rather than just a small or local part.
