did you received an error on your code?
just an idea why not separate it into another table
e.g.
db = DAL(lazy_tables=True)

db.define_table('department',
            Field('name'),
            auth.signature,
            format='%(name)s'
            )

db.define_table('role',
            Field('name'),
            auth.signature,
            format='%(name)s'
            )

db.define_table('employee',
            Field('fullname'),
            Field('email'),
            Field('phone'),
            Field('kids'),
            Field('phone'),
            Field('dob', 'datetime'),
            Field('department', 'reference department',
                  requires=IS_IN_DB(db, db.department.id, '%(name)s') ),
            Field('role', 'reference role',
                  requires=IS_IN_DB(db, db.role.id, '%(name)s') ),
            auth.signature,
            format='%(fullname)s'
            )

best regards,
stifan
