HR rep
Office personnel liaison
An HR rep is a human resources representative—an employee who handles personnel matters like hiring, benefits, workplace complaints, and policy enforcement.
The term often carries connotations of corporate bureaucracy: I had to talk to the HR rep about my leave request.
In workplace humor, HR reps are stereotyped as rule-enforcers who speak in corporate jargon.
