About HR team names

Human resources plans everyone else's team events and rarely names its own team. Then a step challenge, a trivia night or an offsite comes along and the department needs something better than "HR" on the sign-up sheet. The work supplies the vocabulary: requisitions and offers, first days, open enrollment, handbooks, training modules and the org chart.

This list follows the functions of a modern people team. Recruiters get The Offer Letters, Req Closers and Purple Squirrel Hunters. Onboarding has First Day Friends and Boarding Group A. Payroll and benefits bring the puns (Rock and Enroll, Vested Interest, Company Match Makers), policy stays light with Open Door Policy and Read and Acknowledged, and learning teams get Module Citizens and Click Next to Continue. There are names for culture and recognition, for people analytics and HR systems (Dotted Line Reports, HRIS and Shine), and calm ones for employee relations such as All Ears and Steady Hands.

About one name in nine is a plain department or project name, like People and Culture Team or Project North Star, for org charts and kickoff decks. The humor throughout is the kind a team can wear on its own shirt: jokes about forms, deadlines and jargon, never about employees or candidates.

How to choose HR team names

  • Name the function, not just the department. Req Closers or The Shortlist suits a recruiting pod, Flexible Spenders suits the benefits team, and The Learn-It-Alls belongs to learning and development.
  • Decide who will see it. A trivia team can be Other Duties as Assigned or Let Me Check the Handbook, while a name on an all-company slide is safer as People Operations Team or Employee Experience Team.
  • Pick jokes the rest of the company understands. Open Door Policy and Perks and Recreation work for any audience; Nine-Box All-Stars and Effective Dating are best kept inside the department.
  • For a step challenge or a fun run, use the names that already move: The Human Race, Couch to 401(k), Walk-In Interviews and Personal Best Practices.
  • Give a project a name that says what it is for. Project First Day fits a new onboarding program and Project Open Door fits a listening effort, which makes both easier to explain in a kickoff.
