Superprof Business English for HR Professionals
Superprof Business English for HR Professionals explains the terms of personnel work along the employee lifecycle, on the blog of the tutor-matching service Superprof. It is written for HR staff, managers, recruiters and ESOL learners alike, and it names its sources at the foot of the page, among them the CIPD and official government guidance.
100% Free (unlimited): The article is open to anyone, with no account and no payment, and so are the term tables, the scenarios, the flashcard deck and the questions at the end. Superprof's business is putting learners in touch with tutors, who set their own rates; none of the material on this page is held back for them.
How It Helps Your Business English
The article walks through the nine stages of the employee lifecycle, from recruitment to offboarding, then gives four tables of terms, each with a meaning and an example sentence: hiring, onboarding and training, employment status and procedures, and pay and leave. Six scenarios show the wording for an interview invitation, a first day, a review, a grievance and a departure.
You can follow the lifecycle from end to end and see where each term belongs in the work, rather than meeting the words in isolation. The tables put a meaning and a model sentence side by side, so you can lift the sentence into an email of your own. The six scenarios are the quickest part to use: each gives you the terms and a ready sentence for a situation you will meet, and the flashcard deck tests the acronyms afterwards.
