The Covid-19 Pandemic and Human Resource Management: Consequences, Possibilities, Difficulties, and Future Organisational Paths

Abstract

All organisations have been profoundly shaken by the COVID-19, which has made things difficult and complex for managers and human resource management (HRM) professionals. These professionals must come up with creative solutions to keep their businesses running smoothly and assist their staff in overcoming this unprecedented crisis. There are few studies discussing how this crisis has affected HRM. This analysis of the general literature attempts to extend the reach of management research by examining the COVID-19's effects on human resource management. It highlights the primary difficulties and chances brought about by this new pandemic and provides managers and HRM professionals with information on potential future organisational paths that may result from these opportunities.
