Italian term or phrase: People Care
"la funzione People Care per l’organizzazione della comunicazione interna"

From a document detailing the streamlining of a company's printing equipment. This particular segment is taken from a list of departments.
I have found references to "People Care" on a number of Italian sites and it seems to be a sub-department of HR.

Any suggestions? Would it be okay to translate simply as "HR department"?

Employee benefits and wellbeing (department/programme)


Explanation:
a more comprehensible title, perhaps
From my refs you can see it is used in the UK and also in Australia

Example sentence(s):
  • join me and Sara Turner, the head of employee benefits and wellbeing for KPMG UK
  • urging firms around the UK to encourage their employees to cycle to work as part of their employee benefits and wellbeing programmes.
