Routers can be useful in very large designs, but normally only a router for the WAN is needed. Of course, you definitely want to setup switches on your network to contain a lot of traffic running on everyones machines.
I suggest hooking the hubs up to a switch and having departments on the same hub. That way if there software needs to accept broadcasts the people in the same department will receive them.
