Personalcontrolling

English translation: Personnel Management OR Human Resources Management

10:32 Aug 28, 2008
German to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Human Resources
German term or phrase: Personalcontrolling
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.
Anja Huebel
English translation:Personnel Management OR Human Resources Management
Explanation:
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?

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.

neutral  Ken Cox: The common cold is also widespread.

HR audit; staff assessment


Explanation:
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.
