How It Helps Your Business English

What this resource offers:

The guide sets out HR vocabulary by function: recruitment, onboarding, compensation, employee relations, performance and termination, noting where American and British usage differ. It then covers diplomatic language, with softeners, the shared we, questions in place of statements, and a five-step way to deliver bad news. Scripts follow for interviews, reviews, a PIP and two kinds of dismissal.

How to use this resource:

You can read the vocabulary sections for the words themselves, then use the softeners and question forms to shape how you say them. The scripts give you whole sentences for an interview opening, a piece of critical feedback, a plan for improving performance and a termination, so you can adapt the wording to your own company before the conversation happens. The American and British notes help if you work across both.
