Human Resources: the people
"Human Resources" means people, plus the skills and experience they bring to an organization. Job titles such as "Accounts Manager" or "Personal Assistant" define what people do.
An employer is a person or company that provides job. Boss is an informal word meaning "someone in authority", for example an employer or owner of a company, or simply someone in a superior position.
The person who runs a specific part of an organization is called a manager. An executive or, informally, an exec is usually a manager at quite a high level. People at the head of an organization, as it was already mentioned, are senior executives, top executives or top managers. Someone who is in charge of making sure a job is well done e.g. on the factory floor, or in retailing, is sometimes called a supervisor.
People working for a company are referred to as its workforce, employees, staff or personnel and are on its payroll.
Payroll is the list of all the people employed by a company, and the amount of money paid to each of them. The payroll is usually divided into monthly-paid staff, weekly-paid staff and hourly-paid staff.
Professionals or people who perform various office jobs are white-collar workers, while manual workers in factories, on building sites, etc. are called blue-collar workers.
37
Someone who works with you in your job is a colleague (sometimes called a co-worker).
