My research focuses on recruitment and selection, workplace policy and compensation.
What are their challenges?
During the pandemic the higher institutions provided online mode of teaching, due to online teaching during pandemic there were salary reductions, increased working hours, more students in one class as there was no cap for the online teaching mode.
Dear Aimee Michaela Palop Dacir please refer to this reference for more details.

About HR practices:
In my University, we had a temporary 35% pay cut to make it possible to continue paying salaries during the lockdown. Later on, when our income got back to normal, the backlog of salaries was paid. However, in the case of the lower-paid employees (cafeteria staff, janitors, gardeners, security) they continued receiving their full salary even during the lockdown.
Even after the total lockdown, staff were required to come to work only 3 days a week, and work from home the rest of the time. This did not affect their remuneration.
Wearing a mask is compulsory for all staff and students on campus. Temperature is checked on entry and handwashing facilities are provided in many places in the building.
We made sure shared offices allowed for sufficient space between desks.
Aimee, although there has been an emerging range of research on HRM in HE during the pandemic, I have found the following articles useful:
Butterick, M., & Charlwood, A. (2021). HRM and the COVID‐19 pandemic: How can we stop making a bad situation worse?. Human Resource Management Journal.
Antonopoulou, H., Halkiopoulos, C., Barlou, O., & Beligiannis, G. N. (2021). Transformational Leadership and Digital Skills in Higher Education Institutes: During the COVID-19 Pandemic. Emerging Science Journal, 5(1), 1-15.
Aboramadan, M., Albashiti, B., Alharazin, H., & Dahleez, K. A. (2020). Human resources management practices and organizational commitment in higher education: The mediating role of work engagement. International Journal of Educational Management.
Good luck with your study.
In my workplace, employees come to work offline on a rotating basis. For employees who do not come to campus, they have to work from home (WFH).
Chantal Epie Hello mam! I am so grateful for your comments. Especially in paying the employees before and after lockdown. Even about the practices in the workplaces. Your answers matches my current study. Thank you very much. Stay safe always.

If we think about the HR practices of higher education of technologically developed countries, the picture we may find, we may not find the similar picture of education institutes of developing or under-developed countries. I think research scope is important here .
Possible changes in the applied practices of human resource management at universities during the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic mainly result from the increase in the scale of using modern ICT, Internet and Industry 4.0 information technologies to improve remote communication as part of remote didactic classes, i.e. online education in the e-learning formula and remote administration in some departments and departments of the university, remotely conducted scientific conferences, symposia, seminars, meetings of departments, meetings of research teams, etc. In order to improve Internet remote communication, Internet videoconferencing platforms are mainly used. All these changes and the increase in digitization and internationalization of remote communication processes are a significant factor in possible changes in the applied HR management practices at universities during a pandemic.
