Hi Seniors.. :)
I have recently started following the threads posted in CiteHR that talk about new/old terminologies & practices used/followed in corporates like "The Honeymoon Effect" under Training & Development and "The Bell Curve" under Performance Appraisal etc.
I'd appreciate it deeply if you can just let me know more terms like these because it will really help me (and I'm sure there are many freshers and other fellow HR professionals who would find it extremely helpful to) expand the knowledge-base in the domain of HR.
Thanks in advance,
Cheers!

Talent acquisition is a new term used instead of 'Recruitment' these days. Although not a complete new word.
'Boomerang' is another word; which means hiring former employees.

You may not find these terms in older books, and perhaps not even in more recently written HR books - because they are not uniquely HR terms. They are just good English used in the HR context. If you use to a good reference dictionary, you will probably be able to understand the meanings of most of these terms.

agreed with gerry303...one of my uncle is an VP-Hr in manufacturing industry..he used to say me..that..he have recently hired employees from IT bacground..and they used to talk to him with butterfly english and jargons...which actually tended to confusions...
So with reference to IT employees, its good..for a common man its difficult...but my uncle did his MBA recently may be 5 yrs ago..he was in his HR field for more than15yrs..

I am also new to citehr, really a wonderful site for HR official and learners. It will be helpful for every one if a list of these Hr terms could be made available. Thankyou.
