Hello All,
I think only Anjali came closest to the truth.
If you look @ just the Dictionary meaning, all are right-there's NO difference between each of the two sets.
But look @ it from another perspective....who is deciding these? The management...right? So, in a way, it is a CLEAR GIVEAWAY of the mental outlook of the ones @ the top...reflects their way of thinking and/or their focus towards life in general.
When it is "HR Manager", the focus is MORE on the function from the mental outlook of the management......meaning more function-oriented/business-like in the way they see & run the organisation. So, in a way, if you work for such a company, you can be sure that as long as you do your job well, minor fooling-around may be tolerated:p.
When it is "Manager-HR", the focus is more on the designation........meaning more oriented towards the high-flying designations [an import from USA, where designations like President, Vice-President, etc are the norm]. I remember a joke w.r.t hiring some senior profiles [now don't think they don't give such things a lot of weightage-they do MUCH MORE than lower staff]-give the guy the designation of a VP but with the job content of a senior exec...there are guys who don't mind.
So, practically, you can make your choice of the company when you change your next job...depends on how YOU look @ life and WHAT YOU WANT from the NEW job-& if the new company meets your perceptions.
Not sure how many agree with me......:neutral:
