HR acronyms & abbreviations

Lisa

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

    Youve never heard of long term sock? It's a bit Iike long term relationship only one is always missing and the one left behind doesn't put much effort in to be reunited.

    (Yes I meant sick :) )
