I strongly believe that Covid has changed our view point on " Well being & Engagement" in present times, suddenly we can see diminishing levels of aggression and rising levels of synergy forming towards common goals within organisation.
The management of remote workers is the major immediate issue facing many organizations. Several of our incoming PhD students plan to research different aspects of the "working from home" phenomenon.
In my opinion, issues such as perceived organizational support, organizational citizenship behavior, job attitude, employee engagement, agility, etc. are the issues supposedly to be impacted due to this new global stress i.e. COVID-19.
Taiye, whilst the coronavirus crisis has wreaked health, economic and socio-cultural havoc in communities and nation states around the world, it also offers limitless research opportunities, including those in Human Resource Management and Human Resource Development. For HRM, topic areas such as labour relations both inside and outside the workplace, novel recruitment and selection practices, flexible work arrangements are workplace inequality and dignity are some salient aspects that should be urgently investigated. For HRD, innovative use of technology in the training and development of staff working remotely offers some strategic possibilities in talent identification, use and development. Interesting...
I believe all issues, such as Acquisition, Training and Development, Incentives and Recognition, Employee Relations, Employee Evaluation, Heallth, Retention, and Termination are the issues that can be affected due to the VOVID-19 Pendamic.
I also think working from home/flexible working will stay with us for a while but we take it for granted that it is suitable across all cultures and societies. An area requiring scholarly attention is to explore the cultural dimensions to working from home/flexible working especially contexts where these have not been traditionally popular.
I know from research and statistics that business are going to invest even more in Artificial intelligence after COVID-19... this is a huge deal for HRM.
In my Opinion, there are many HR related issues that can be researched including: the impact of COVID-19 on workforces interms of flexible working Techniques such as telecommuting, jobs lost, reduction of working hours and employee benefits. Employee layoff and labour relations.
La salud emocional, considerando:
Las rupturas de un espacio de la vida humana, es como volver de las peores crisis, su salud mental, sus emociones.
La crisis económica y por la pérdida de trabajo, o no puede trabajar.
La cultura organizacional, si en realidad se ha cumplido con la misión y visión en Recursos humanos (Muchas empresas ni se han acordado de los trabajadores, con simple carta le deseaban buena salud pero en la práctica le estaban despidiendo).
Por otro lado muchas empresas han estado trabajando (Internet, Comunicaciones, producción de productos de consumo,,...), se tendría que investigar cómo se han sentido sus trabajadores, en las exigencias de pago de sus servicios y cómo observaban al otro lado.
La corrupción, bajo nivel de valores, el poder del dinero
la educación en gestión de riesgos de esta naturaleza,...
I think HR firms and organisations need to make strategies to make sure the productivity in the case of work from home. Another important aspect is the adoption of ITES and related procedures to make employee confident. Companies should plan for zero layoff and inculcating confidence in their employees. Companies should also make sure that there will be security of job to get their people motivated and prevent them from looking at door.

I think research on from lower strata to higher will add value to post covid-19 analysis based on ground base actual data .
Working remotely and employee efficiency , and / or productivity
Hi,Taiye
In my humble opinion, there are many aspects that are researchable under the umbrella of HR. Owing to the change of 'new norm' during, after the pandemic, the employee behaviour has changed and similarity the HR practices also. All those topics suggested by other colleagues are relevant and timely.
Attached herewith a journal highlighting future research and practice.
Good luck.
Thank you

Navigating the remote work environment when family members are also schooling their children - how to balance competing priorities.
I came to know that many counties withhold the current labor laws to control the cost of labor.
Oliver, in my opinion, Not only stress due to the compensation packages but also stress due to fear of job loss due to layoff and termination
Los factores emocionales. a nivel mundial un % de millones de despidos, la resistencia en el confinamiento ha creado los efectos de strees, salud mental,..
the themes to be reviewed from a reflection on HR at the time of COVID-19 are:
- HR flexibility: adaptation skills;
- time management: part-time work, etc.
- performance management: how to assess tele-work
- training in preventive measures against pandemic diseases
Everyone is suffering. It is better to cut everyone's wages to keep teams and avoid layoffs.
We need to consider the workers struggling for every day bread. Some how for us no such problems, so we don't see in that angle at all, Consider the life of all categories of people and their livelihood.
I believe we need to concentrate more on:
- acquisition
- training and development
- incentives and recognition
- employee relations
- evaluation
- retention, and
- termination

Dear Janet, What is the use of taking about political system and politician? How long? What is our role?
Worker resilience is key at this time. Workers are calling out to helpless employers to do more but what could they have done to help the organization and the work they do to keep it in a force majeure, pandemic etc? That role is needed now even though a bit late, we need to find that perspective.
I think some of most relevant topics are:
- Impacts of the crisis on recruitment and selection and mitigations for minimizing the negative impacts
- How nonmonetary incentives can replace organizations inability to motivate merely by monetary rewards due to global economic downturn
- Potenial Human rights violations in implementing health and safety measures
- The new employees arising needs for mental health benefits that should be part of Employee Assistance Services
- The bluring border of work and life with working from home and its implications
Taiye, how about novel HRM practices, policies, processes and systems in the wake of COVID-19: new paradigms, new methods, new strategies?
How to keep the group interacting, creating and collaborating on a home office basis ? How to avoid that each professional be limited to his own work group?

Covid 19 pandemic has resulted in various aspects of human engagement due to lockdown as well as spread of the deadly virus across the world. Human resource management issues that are required to be addressed are: 1) impact of living in quarantine, 2) psychological aspects of working in isolation, 3) physical social distancing leading to over activity in in social media, 4) maintaining self confidence, emotional stability and motivation, 5) sense of insecurity on account of prevailing economic situation.These are some of the issues, which affect human resource, which is the intellectual capital base.
Organizational practices that help employees cope with the crisis, as well as the constraining or supporting factors. Please see our recent research:
