    Could someone not call them the Secretary of Human Resources and it also be accurate by meaning?

    No. I hope that answers your question.

      Why not? If they are a position that answers directly to the CEO who govorns a department named Human Resources. I personally think they shouldn’t report to the CEO, but they do in most companies. I think the head of HR and the CEO should both report to the board, but that’s not how it usually works

        Because in a business environment, secretary doesn’t mean that, and never has. It’s that simple.

        By all means, feel free to invent word usages. But I doubt it will catch on. It’d be confusing and make people think of what we now call “admins”.
