HR acronyms & abbreviations

Hi all

I wondered if any of you have a list you could share regarding acronyms in HR.  As I am not in a specific HR role, I sometimes have to Google the acronyms I see on here and in articles or Twitter etc. An example would be SME....I had no idea that this referred to small to medium enterprises when I first saw it 

They would be extremely useful and I would be very grateful.

Many thanks

Lisa

    ERA Employment Rights Act (1996); This Act contains most of the more common "day-to-day" employment legislation.

  • Fantastic! Thank you. I was only looking at SOSR earlier and racking my brains as to what the heck it meant. I am going to collate everyone's suggestions into a list and save it so I can refer to it going forward
