Another term for 'HR'

Rebecca

Hi Community, 

I have been thinking lately on a new & updated term for 'HR'. I see a lot of companies are now referring HR as 'People & Culture'. Just seeing if anyone has any other ideas? I currently work part-time for a distribution company who are highly innovative and the term 'HR' just doesn't suit the business. I also need to take into consideration when I talk about the term people & culture, I always need to explain it is in fact HR, so people understand what the function is. Interested to hear your feedback!

Thanks

  • I am sure all these names are well intentioned, but I do think the exercise is largely pointless. Welfare, personnel, Human Resources, People, what we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet

    We are known by what we do and the impact we have not what our function is called. And as has been mentioned many will still us ethe old name for years to come.

    In my career I have been in a Personnel Officer (old I know), a HR Director and a People & Culture Director and I can honestly say the title made no difference to the approach to role
