You should do it like this:

C++

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout <<"S = Sales"<< endl;
    cout <<"A = Accounting"<< endl;
    cout <<"E = Engineering!"<< endl;
    cout <<"H = Human Resouces"<< endl;
    cout <<"F = Finance!"<< endl;
    
    char dept;
    cout << "Enter your selection: ";
    cin >> dept;
	switch (dept)
    {
        cout<<dept;
	case 'S':  cout << "Sales\n"; break; // fall through
	case 'A':  cout << "Accounting\n";break; // fall through
	case 'E':  cout << "Engineering!\n";break; // fall through
	case 'H':  cout << "Human Resouces\n"; break;// fall through
	case 'F':  cout << "Finance!\n";break;
	default:cout<<"input error!!!"<<endl;
		break;
	}
	cout << "\n\n";
    return 0;
}

Because the dept is a char type, so the behind the case should add ' '.

C++

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void Sales()
{
    cout << "Sales";
}
void Accounting()
{
    cout << "Accounting";
}
void Engineering()
{
    cout << "Engineering";
}
void HumanResouces()
{
    cout << "Human Resouces";
}
void Finance()
{
    cout << "Finance";
}
int main()
{
  int dept;

  cout<<"1. Sales\n";
  cout<<"2. Accounting\n";
  cout<<"3. Engineering\n";
  cout<<"4. Human Resouces\n";
  cout<<"5. Finance\n";
  cout<<"6. Exit\n";
  cout<<"Selection: ";
  cin>> dept;
  switch ( dept ) {
  case 1:            // Note the colon, not a semicolon
    Sales();
    break;
  case 2:            // Note the colon, not a semicolon
    Accounting();
    break;
  case 3:            // Note the colon, not a semicolon
    Engineering();
    break;
  case 4:            // Note the colon, not a semicolon
    HumanResouces();
    break;
  case 5:            // Note the colon, not a semicolon
    Finance();
    break;
  case 6:            // Note the colon, not a semicolon
    cout<<"Thank you for your Selecting!\n";
    break;
  default:            // Note the colon, not a semicolon
    cout<<"Error or  bad input, quitting\n";
    break;
  }
  cin.get();
}

should use break for each case statement.
consider the switch statement format.

C++

switch (expression)
{
case valueOne: statement;
                   break;
case valueTwo: statement;
                   break;
....
case valueN:   statement;
                   break;
default:       statement;
}

NOTE: It is almost always a good idea to have a default case in switch statements. If you have no other need for the default, use it to test for the supposedly impossible case, and print out an error message; this can be a tremendous aid in debugging.

so modify your switch statement like this

C++

switch (dept)
{
    cout<<dept;
   case S:  cout<< "Sales\n";  // fall through
            break;
   case A:  cout<< "Accounting\n"; // fall through
            break;
   case E:  cout<< "Engineering\n"; // fall through
            break;
   case H:  cout<< "Human Resouces\n"; // fall through
            break;
   case F:  cout<< "Finance!\n";
            break;
   default: cout<<"Enter a valied character"<<endl;
 }

Solution 1

Review your switch statement[^].

For one each case should have it own break; and also consider adding a default: case for when incorrect input is supplied.
