HR
Abbreviation for human resources
In short and in plain language
HR stands for the part of a firm that deals with staff.
This includes finding new staff and work contracts. Keeping track of work time and leave is part of it too.
In small firms, the bosses often do this work themselves. Then there is no separate team for it.

HR stands for a company's human resources function. It includes, for example, recruiting, employment contracts, time tracking and leave management. In smaller businesses these tasks are often handled by the management itself, without a separate department.
