See if you understand this sentence: HRBP told HRD that the ATS to HRIS transfer is impacting FTE calc & PTO accrual for EEs. Ever feel like HR speaks a whole nother language? 🤷♂️ ⭐You're not alone!⭐ Even seasoned HR pros get tripped up by the alphabet soup of acronyms! (We're looking at you EEO, FMLA, and all your friends!) 🤯 Trying to understand an HR conversation can feel like deciphering ancient code. 🔣 Between PIPs, KPIs, and LOAs, it's enough to make your head spin. 😵 If you want to TALK like HR here's what I recommend: ⤵ ➡ Ask your friendly HR rep! They're happy to explain things in plain English. ➡ HR Glossary: Many companies have glossaries online or in employee handbooks. ➡ Online Resources: Tons of websites offer explanations of common HR terms. #HR #HumanResources #Acronyms #Communication #HRAdvice

You cannot mess with EE’s PTO accruals 🥺 You’ll never hear the end of it.

I do my best to ALWAYS say/type the long words and say/type the acronym immediately after in hopes I can help the convo. Let’s be honest, even HR get confused sometimes 😆

I knew them all then you lost me at FTE… probably something I know and use frequently yet I’m drawing a blank at that acronym 😅

Oh, you can’t leave out “STD”! We throw that one around, and I know it definitely confuses folks outside of HR! 😂 (It is a common acronym for “short-term disability,” for anyone unfamiliar.)

I chuckled at this 😂 - It reminds us how easily we forget the weight of simple HR acronyms. On top of that, we need to know the acronyms for the company and business units we support. By the end of the day, who’s heading to happy hour? 😂

Just like being married to a military member and being around their coworkers while they're having a conversation! It felt like they were always speaking another language!
