HR is evolving from staff administration to acting as peers with
senior management as an organization are reconsidering their business models as
remote working has become entirely normal, and predictably it will not be the same
as it was before the heath crisis.
HR managers can guide employees safely towards the new
normal with a strategy that must be deployed as employees return to their physical
offices and essentials must be established to emerge successfully from the heath
crisis.
HR as a Strategic Partner of the Organization.
HR managers has become to special role for employees, from
first responders and trusted advisors to coaches and motivators. And also be
a strategic partners for the organization management.
Cornerstones of the New Normal
Developing New Capabilities
As working remotely will be entirely normal in the
future, employee flexibility, adaptability, and teamwork will be of importance to
and organization. HR practices should drive the need to develop these skills.
Physical and Mental Health
With remote working environments, employees’ physical and
mental health will continue to be highly important for HR departments and
handling issues such as online fatigue will be new occupational hassle for HR
departments.
Diversity and Inclusion
The ability to work from anywhere will increasingly open up
new job opportunities for culturally diverse employees all over the world. And HR
needs to think about how teams made up of very diverse employees can
collaborate effectively and smoothly.
Back Into the Office
As employees gradually returns to regular office work, it won’t
be the same as before. Small talk with a face mask, Hand sanitizers next to the
coffee machine, and etc. will be common thing in offices. The pandemic will impact
on how people collaborate at a fundamental level, including office design. For this
HR managers need to prepare and develop strategies for getting employees back
into the physical office.
Applicable Strategy
Hygiene precaution
- Provide adequate supplies of sanitizer and face mask.
- Ensure that desks, light switches, door handles, etc. are sanitized regularly.
- Provide for alternatives to employees using public transportation (e.g. bicycle and scooter rental services, car sharing)
- Develop hygiene guidelines for handwashing and social distancing.
Reorganizing the office
- Decide on how many employees are allowed to work in the office at any one time
- Organize shared spaces such as meeting rooms suitable for pocket meetings with small groups.
- Decide on what departments or teams will return first.
- Decide on who should return to the office right from the start.
This is a good article. you mention in this article, back into the office and applicational strategy. I think this is the main part of HRM to implement and supervising the application of safety and health progress after Employees and society be normal.
ReplyDeleteUntil the Covid Epidemic is being recovered we should have to learn how we should adapt our lifestyles to live with.
ReplyDeleteThen we should care about our protection by ourselves and as you said, organization should provide face masks and sanitizers to the employees in order to maintain the office as healthy environment.
I think allocating flexible time for the employees for work is an ideal method and shift method also can implement in such situation.
Without implementing a proper plan, organization might be at a risk by operating the day-to-day businesses.
Hence HR team have a responsibility to implement and monitor health guidelines which is to be followed by the all staff members
This article points out a valuable analysis. Even though we currently work remotely, there is no doubt that there will be an opportunity to go back to the company and work, so we must take care of that. Of course, this may not be the most discussed topic in the industry. But that is something that needs to be considered. So I see this as a very valuable article. If employees go to work physically in the office, it is very important to think about the safety of them. There is no doubt that HR has a huge responsibility in that regard.

After the covid-19 pandemic, all sections of society should engage with the public health authorities to take action to prevent and contain the spread of the virus. Businesses and employers, in particular, have a major role to play to keep workplaces safe if we are to stop the spread of this disease as workplaces are frequented by a large number of people. It is a responsibility of HR team outline the key steps to be taken at workplaces to prevent the spread of the virus. Employers should start doing these things now, to keep the workplaces safe to prevent the spread of the virus. This may help to reduce working days lost due to illness and stop or slow the spread of COVID-19.
ReplyDeleteAccording to my opinion, even after the COVID-19 pandemic IT sector will get more engaged in remote working as it is more convenient. This industry is considered as the developers, technology builders for all the other industries. Also it is considered as the most technology driven industry in the world and they will provide more sophisticated appliances which will make the employee works from home more comfortably.
