Micro lesson for today is about the language used in HR and explaining it to a lay person like me.

Imagine I have no idea about HR (which is partly true) and try to explain each term, as if you were talking to an intern.

The terms are: 

  • • Shortlist candidates
  • • Cultural fit
  • • Onboarding process
  • • Performance review
  • •  KPIs
  • • 360-degree feedback
  • • Open-door policy
  • • Grievance procedure

Tell me – does the list contain any new words/phrases? If so – which?

Can you give examples of these in your career?

Write or record answers and send for feedback.
