HR and Scotland

English translation: Human Resources and Scotland

12:49 Aug 4, 2006
English language (monolingual) [PRO]
Other / abbreviation
English term or phrase: HR and Scotland
not much context (in a list):
- line managers of senior managers
- line managers of middle managers in HR and Scotland

this is from a list of instructions on how annual appraisals of the staff shall be carried out at a multinational company (what's more, there is no word about the Scots anywhere, otherwise)

I have a strong feeling that the paper was written (or translated) by a person who was not a native English speaker, so could it be that "HR" is "UK" in some language?

agree  Alexander Demyanov: Seems likely. It's possible that there is a Scotland branch that doesn't have it's own HR dept. If so, then it's plausible that managers there assume some HR responsibilities. Hence their listing together w/managers in the (central) HR dept.

agree  Veronica Prpic Uhing: HR stands for Hrvatska, foreigners call us Croatia; they did not know how to write Hrvatska or they talk about - human resources managers and Scotland managers. Sentence line is not clear
