Dear Friends,
Piercing the fog
The year 2020 was a period of fog that obscured everything from work, workplace to worker thought processes. Had anyone imagined Covid-like situations before, they would not have predicted the "HR Trends" for 2020 as they were done.
Light at the end of the tunnel is visible, but that has brought many changes, and the HR landscape will be different this time. It is a time for HR to pierce the fog, see the reality, and assess what has changed for work, workplace, and worker.
The era of the gig economy
It will be an era of the gig economy. Workplaces will embrace the hybrid work model. The mental well-being of workers will acquire an important place in the organizational culture. The year 2021 should revolve around these three central ideas in the business world. Much may change for HR as they now have to recraft the people management processes, keeping in mind the remote and in-house working. Employees' behavior is to be embedded with fast technological integration in people processes. To work further on the psychological health of employees, the elements of compassion, trust, and empathy have to be reinforced with more gravity and so on. HR experts bring new insights on how the HR landscape is going to be in 2021 in the special feature.
Important labor judgments of 2020
February 2021 cover story on Important Labor Judgments of 2020 is the outcome of deep research, identification, and relevance of important labor judgments delivered by the Judiciary of the country that set the future stage for employment relations between employer and employee. It carries more than 600 one-liner judgments. Be it the case of lockdown period wages to employees or explaining the circumstances that constitute sexual harassment, the element of justice gained ground. The Judiciary has also pierced the fog through many verdicts.
When the GOI order of paying full wages to employees during the lockdown period was challenged before the Apex court, it intelligently adopted the conciliatory approach by appreciating the difficulty and limitations of both the partners of economic growth and provided an opportunity to settle the issue of wages on their own. When it came to examining the scope of sexual harassment, MP HC decided that circumstances may also amount to sexual harassment if they occur or are present in relation to or connected with any act or behavior of sexual harassment, thus enlarging the scope. The Supreme Court continued expressing zero tolerance for unethical acts of employees by deciding that demanding and accepting gratification is grave and serious misconduct justifying dismissal for such acts because this is also sufficient for management to lose confidence in the employee.
If you like it, let us know. If not, well, let us know that too.
Happy Reading!
