The coronavirus pandemic brought the unpredictable change in the working pattern of the organization and the most vulnerable department which impacted badly is the Human resource department. The “Corona virus” puts disaster plans in mind of all business leaders. Large scale outbreaks of such dangerous disease, threaten employees directly as individuals and cumulatively as a workforce. The top priority for HR is to consider employees first, the threat of corona virus creates uncertainty, panic and impatientmostly in the case if employees got exposed at work (Wiles, 2020). There was not any business function that has not been significantly impacted by the pandemic and it induced companies to make changes to stay operational. One function that has shifted dramatically was the objective and methods to maintain human resource. The role of HR professionals as well as routine task performed by him has shifted significantly, because of the dramatic growth of “Remote work” in response to “Covid- 19 Pandemics” (Eightfold, Feb 2021). The goal of the study is to describe the changes in emergent HR practices and the challenges faced by HR manager during the pandemic and corrective actions taken to combat the challenges. The recent change bring by the worldwide pandemic has imposed organization to accelerate transformation from onsite work to digital operations. Human resource management has a crucial role to play in supporting organisations in their efforts to stay in business while also assisting employees in utilising digital platforms to access their employment (Iza Gigauri,2020).
