That's why you're seeing more and more departments calling themselves the "people team". Like changing your name makes you less of a ghoul
It felt even more gross when my workplace did this for about five years tbh. They changed it back to Human Resources recently lol
They used to be "Personnel".
Side effect of business structure being taken from military structure. Still called Personnel in the military, and even Human Resources has been getting rebranded lately. Same shit though
My HR team is called the people department.
Australia renamed the "Department of Human Services" to "Services Australia" a few years ago
I hate techbros as much as anyone, but I think calling the department "Human Resources" predates them by a lot.
The company I work for is wise to the connotation of "human resources" and opted to call the department "people experience". Now that's techbro.
The last 2 big tech companies I worked have renamed HR to "people Ops (Operations)" now for the cleaner image despite having the exact same role profile
Now that's tech bro
In my world it came in during the 90s, concurrent with early tech expansion. Before that it was called Personnel.
