HR Glossary

Welcome! If you’re here, you’re likely immersed in HR. That’s why we’ve crafted an HR glossary: to provide you with essential terminology—from Applicant Tracking System to Work/Life Balance (we’re still searching for a Z word!).

Our glossary defines common HR terms clearly, whether you’re a seasoned pro, new specialist, or exploring the HR field. It’s designed to support you in decoding executive communications, understanding our HR articles, or confidently pitching new programs.
