Navigating Post-Corona Work Culture: What New Challenges Are HR Managers Facing?

Post-Corona Work Culture

Fear is the essence of the Corona pandemic. Initially perceived as a lifeless yet highly contagious virus, the lockdown restrictions have eased, but the fear lingers. Organizations are now tasked with managing various aspects such as attendance, work objectives, employee health, hygiene practices, and maintaining productivity in this new normal.

This raises the question: What are the new challenges that HR Managers are currently facing?

This COVID-19 situation is a very unique and unexpected scenario for all departments, especially for the HR department. Companies are planning and implementing changes to adapt to the COVID situation, and they are likely to continue with these changes post-COVID, such as embracing a remote working culture. It is expected that companies will modify their offices to adhere to new norms and guidelines. Organizations will need to place a higher degree of trust in the integrity and commitment of employees working remotely.

The Transition to Remote Work Culture

The transition to remote work culture is not as seamless as it seems. Before the COVID-19 outbreak, less than 50% of companies had a remote work program. In addition, banks, regulated industries, and many financial services companies did not encourage remote working. Now, almost all of them are rushing to build remote work strategies.

This has led to many undiscovered problems. HR managers are trying to build seamless routes and strategies to overcome the challenges that it brings. Strategies are no longer designed periodically or in advance but in real-time. The focus on employee productivity and engagement has shifted to immediate responses and diagnosis. To provide employees with the right tools and gather real-time updates from them from time to time to untangle the intricacies and offer support.

With the onset of the coronavirus epidemic, the challenges faced by HR are increasing. HR personnel need to be sufficiently competent to bridge the gap between management and employees. While the management focuses on cost-effective solutions and providing free insurance coverage for employees through the HR Manager, employees are seeking commitment from management in case of an unforeseen loss of life and also looking for welfare benefits when working remotely.
