Social Sciences - Management / skills assessment
French term or phrase: Kiosque RH
This is the name they give to the application - or rather its visible interface - for administering interviews with staff for skills assessment and training organization. I hesitate to use "HR Kiosk" because it doesn't sound dignified enough (but feel free to suggest that if you think it will do).
To give you a taste of what "Kiosque RH" is naming:
On the home page we have menu tabs:
Mon dossier - Mon équipe - Mon activité - Information - Administration - Sécurité
"Mon dossier" is open in the screen capture given, and we find a list of interview appointments with various staff members.
In the next screen capture, the "Mon activité" tab is open and we have:
Gérer les données
- Importer des salariés
- Gérer les utilisateurs uniquement KRH
Gérer les entretiens
- Gérer les campagnes
- Tableau de bord des entretiens
- Tableau de bord des demandes
- Modifier les rémunerations
Gérer la formation
- etc. etc.

HR terminal


Explanation:
If I'm right in thinking this is something the DRH and his henchmen only have access to, then I think "kiosk" is out and "terminal" is in.

To me, at least, "kiosk" suggests it is as open to all-comers as a bandstand is to the elements. A "terminal" need not be out-of-bounds to certain categories of personnel, mind you, but is more likely to be "restricted access" than a "kiosk", IMO.

A "HR kiosk" might be stationed on the shop floor where workers can access it and feed information, requests, suggestions, demands for pay rises, notification of strike action, etc. up to the DRH, but I can't see the DRH going walkabout to enter his interview programme into it. Or maybe I have an old-fashioned view of employee management, should bodyline away my bowler hat, lose my embonpoint, disvest my waistcoat and fob off my silver pocket watch and chain.
