Human resources
Staff administration department
Human resources refers to the people who make up an organization's workforce, or the department that manages them.
The HR department handles hiring, benefits, training, and workplace policies.
The term treats employees as organizational assets—resources to be managed—which some find dehumanizing: I need to talk to human resources about my health insurance.
Often abbreviated HR.
