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).
