Personalcontrolling

Deutsch > Englisch Wirtschaft/Finanzwesen Personalwesen
From brief descriptions of HR software solutions SAP ERP HCM, P&I LOGA, PAISY

Does this mean HR data analysis? "Personnel controlling" only comes up on non-native English websites. Seems to mean more than just HR cost management.
Change log

Aug 28, 2008 11:41: Steffen Walter changed "Level" from "Non-PRO" to "PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (1): Сергей Лузан

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Personnel Management OR Human Resources Management

Have never heard of anyone talking about Personnel Control or Controlling. Maybe it is applying the German idea of Kontrolle wth its overtones of management to the Personnel function--hence, my suggestion. It might be helpful to see a little more of the context although it won't be much help if it is just part of a list; on the other hand, how are the other members of the list described in German?
Peer comment(s):

agree Sharon Moler : I've also never heard Personnel Control/Controlling. I agree w/ your suggestion & your comment that more context might help.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I talked to the customer today. She said it meant HR reporting and analysis, but not any kind of employee assessment. Germans certainly overuse the term "Controlling"!"

neutral Armorel Young : The asker says that the term only seems to crop up on non-native English websites - so what is demonstrated by quoting just such a site?

So, Armorel, I attribute this term as an Intl Co parlance It's widespread and expresses aspects other than described by "Personnel Management / Human Resources Management" due to "SAP ERP HCM, P&I LOGA, PAISY"-connotations IMHO. http://tinyurl.com/6qxjp2
neutral Steffen Walter : With Armorel - this is of no value whatsoever to the asker. / It's widespread in NON-NATIVE usage. The fact that all G'hits on the first results page are non-native speaks volumes. / And please address me by my first name, which is Steffen.

Well, Steffen. It's widespread and expresses aspects other than described by "Personnel Management / Human Resources Management" due to "SAP ERP HCM, P&I LOGA, PAISY"-connotations IMHO. http://tinyurl.com/6qxjp2/Sorry, Steffen, I admit my mistake re. name
neutral Ken Cox : The common cold is also widespread.

HR audit; staff assessment

I think the term "Personalcontrolling" doesn't mean HR data analysis only, that's why I would suggest "HR audit" or "staff assessment" as suitable translations.
