Changing from HR to People

Sarah

We have changed our group name from HR to the People team and whilst we would like to reflect that in the HRBP team too, we are struggling to come up with an appropriate title.  A 'People Business Partner' just sounds a bit odd and many combinations of 'people' and 'partnering' risk us sounding like a dating agency!   Has anyone else has made this switch and come up with any creative solutions to this?

  • Hi Sarah,

    I'm a HRBP but my title was HR Lead (we don't have conventional titles) but now it's been recently changed to 'People Operations Lead'. I'm not 100% sold if I'm honest; my organisation if rife with millennials who perhaps haven't experienced the negative stigma that comes with the name Human Resources. But we don't see our colleagues as 'humans' we see them as 'people' so I understand the rationale.

    I'm actually interested in understanding the average salary for these kind of roles. I switched industries from hospitality to tech 6 months ago and not wholly understanding the industry I don't think I set my salary expectations high enough. It's a bit of a challenge with non conventional job titles to understand where you lie in the market. I'd welcome any info or advice you have around.

    Many thanks
    Holly

    Just an observation - "Lead" is quite a convention title in the health sector and parts of education.

    As to benchmarking - tutor should play very little part in any benchmarking exercise but the role and responsibilities are key. There are various salary surveys available . But of course the trick is not benchmarking but demonstrating you are worth more.
