In the course of our communication with friends, candidates, clients and even family members, many types of acronym, definition and abbreviation have been bandied around with related to HR.
- Is it HR (Human Resource) or HC (Human Capital) ?
- It’s the same thing. Resource seems negative, where else Capital seems to stress on assets (more positive)
- Do we call “Job Agency“, “Recruitment Agency” or “Search firm” ?
- All are the same, just different way of naming
- Are you providing “payroll system” or “payroll software” or “payroll outsourcing” ?
- Payroll System & Payroll Software typically refers to the application itself which is the “Software“; whereby users use the software themselves
- Payroll Outsource definition are geared towards “Services” whereby clients may out outsource total payroll processing to vendor regardless of whatever software that they use
- What is the scope of services in “HR Payroll Solutions” or “Staffing” ?
- Can be defined and narrowed down as Contract Staffing whereby vendor manages Contract Staff on behalf of clients; Vendor is the legal employer of the Contract Staff
- The scope of services may include on-boarding, letter of offer, orientation, leave & claim management, payroll administration, exit interview among others
- What is “Staffing Services” and what is the difference with “Staffing Recruitment Agency” ?
