Human Resource Management: a shift towards agility due to a pandemic of COVID-19
Original language description
The dramatic changes caused by the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus have had a profound and immediate effect on organizations and employees worldwide. The pandemic has created a particularly challenging environment for human resource management (HRM), as leaders had to adapt quickly to technical, physical, and socio-psychological alterations in the workplace. HR practitioners have been confronted with new perspectives on the meaning of work, organizational leadership and engagement, contactless collaboration and learning, and mental health issues. Employees working remotely have been exposed to work-family effects and emotional impacts while maintaining productivity and absorbing new digital skills. The paper aims to outline the implications of COVID-19 on employees and the workplace and point out the shift of HRM towards agility in response to the global health crisis. The literature review presented in the paper confirmed that companies around the world had demonstrated extraordinary agility in HRM at a time of unprecedented business disruption. The shift of HRM towards agility includes proactive anticipation, determining variable strategies, capability planning, and flexible response to external impulses. These are necessary prerequisites for thriving in the post-COVID-19 workplace. The paper means to stimulate further in-depth research to assess empirical findings in a practical context.
