BEC : HR -Vocabulary

Hi, this is AJ. Welcome to the vocabulary lesson. Let’s start.

Our first word is ‘benefits’. You already know the general meaning of this word, but when we talk about Human Resources or Personnel, benefits specifically means the extra compensation that an employee gets. So it’s not their paycheck, but it’s all the other things they receive from the company for working there. So, for example, it might be health insurance. It could be vacation days. It could be personal days, sick leave. All of these extra things are called benefits.

Then we heard the word ‘temp’, ‘a temp’ or ‘temps’ (plural). A temp is a temporary worker. They are hired to work at the company temporarily. They’re not a permanent worker. Maybe they’re hired for one month or six months or one year, they’re a temp.

‘Intern’ - An intern is someone who works at a company in order to learn. Often they are college students or they’re students of some kind. Sometimes they’re paid and sometimes they’re not paid, it depends. When they’re paid they’re usually paid a less amount, less than the normal rate because they’re students. An intern is working in order to get job experience.

‘To outsource’ or ‘outsourcing’ (is the noun) –Outsourcing means paying someone outside the company to do a job. Instead of paying an employee to do it, you pay someone outside the company to do it.

‘Payroll’ - Payroll is the pay of employees. It’s the cost of paying employees. So if you say the company has a big payroll it means they spend a lot of money paying employees.

‘Personal days’ - Some companies have personal days. It’s similar to vacation. It just means it’s a day that you can take off from work for any reason. You don’t have to tell them you’re sick. You don’t have to tell them you’re on vacation. You don’t have to give any reason at all. You just say hi, I’m taking a personal day today. Maybe you get seven personal days a year or something, every company is different. Some companies don’t have personal days, some do.

‘Sick leave’ - That’s more obvious. That’s paid vacation. Not really vacation, it’s paid leave. Meaning paid time away from work, but only if you’re sick. So if you get sick then you can call in to your boss and say I’m going to take a sick day today because I don’t feel good. In America you may get seven of those a year or something like that.

‘Maternity leave’ - That’s leave. So ‘leave’ just means paid time off. Maternity leave is leave you get for a new baby. Mother’s get this. So if a woman has a baby or is going to have a baby she might get maternity leave. Maybe she gets one month paid leave so she can go away from her job, take care of her baby for one month but still get paid.

Maybe two months, I don’t know how much it is, every company is different.

‘Paternity leave’ is the same thing but for fathers. So for new fathers some companies will provide paternity leave. If a man has a new baby in his family then he can take some time off paid to be with his new child.

‘Orientation’ - Orientation is a kind of welcome training. It’s a basic training to welcome you to a company or to a new job or to a new department. It’s kind of the initial training you get to help you get used to the new position.

‘Perks’ - A perk is an extra. Again, it’s an extra benefit and sometimes they’re unofficial benefits. So they’re extra things you get - you receive - for your job, for your work, sometimes they’re official, sometimes they’re not. For example, salespeople sometimes can use a company car to drive around to meet customers. That’s a perk. Instead of using their own car they can drive the company’s car and use the company’s gas. So they’re saving money and they’re not wearing out their own car. It’s like a little extra something, that’s a perk.

‘Geared towards’, to be geared towards something. It just means focused on something. You could say today’s class is geared toward Human Resources. That means today’s class is about Human Resources. Today’s class is focused on the topic of Human Resources - geared towards.

To take a ‘dim view’ of something --You can say I have a dim view of Human Resources or I take a dim view of Human Resources. You can say ‘have’ or ‘take’. It just means you have a low opinion of that subject or that topic. You have a low opinion. You have a negative opinion about it.

‘By enlarge’ - By enlarge means mostly. So you might say by enlarge I agree. That means mostly I agree. I agree with most of what you said - by enlarge.

‘Gnashing of teeth’ - So, gnashing of teeth, the direct meaning is the action of kind of clenching your teeth, almost chewing your teeth against themselves. So the general meaning is just anger, anger or frustration. So if you’re angry or frustrated you might arrrr. You clench your teeth, argh, really hard, really tight. So if you say oh, there was a lot of gnashing of teeth at the meeting, it means there was a lot of anger at the meeting.

There was a lot of frustration at the meeting.

‘Red tape’ - Red tape is kind of an idiom or slang and it means there are bureaucratic rules and paperwork. So it means bureaucratic rules and paperwork - red tape. It’s usually used in a negative way. You can say oh, there’s so much red tape to hire a new employee. It means there’s so much paperwork, so many little rules and regulations.

That’s a lot of red tape.

Next is the word ‘astute’. Astute has the idea of clever. So if you say oh, he’s very astute, he’s very clever. Sometimes it has the idea of being detail-focused. That means good with details. Insightful, clever, intelligent, those kind of ideas.

Finally, ‘drive you nuts’. You can say oh, that might drive you nuts. Drive you nuts means makes you crazy, is the more direct meaning. The really general meaning of this just means frustrate you. If you say oh, all these rules drive me nuts it means these rules make me crazy. These rules frustrate me, annoy me.

And that’s it. That is the end of our vocabulary lesson.

See you again next time, bye-bye.

The End.
