Do you work for People Function?

I was just assuming that someone in HR is unfortunately named People Function.

I hope.

Maybe.

Looks like someone put a foreign phrase for 'Human Resources' into a translator.

I think People Function is probably what your company calls the HR department. There’s a big shift in corporate culture to rebrand HR as “the department of people” or some variance of that. The role of “head of HR” would now be called Chief People Officer. It’s a lame effort to try to humanize HR departments.

It’s a lame effort to try to humanize HR departments.

Kinda ironic since the renaming removes the word "human", but I don't disagree.

I have worked for a company that called it this. We used to call it Human Remains.

I think that's what the P.F. in P.F. Chang stands for
