Title

CHALLENGES FACED BY HR PROFESSIONALS IN COVID-19-A STUDY ON SELECTED INDIAN COMPANIES

Abstract

Who on earth has ever thought of the challenges that 2020 would bring? HR professionals have certainly not imagined the challenges that COVID-19 has dawned on them. The uncertainty has crushed the economy, employees are in stressful situations, and HR professionals are trying their best to keep everything in perspective and aligned. But is it easy as it sounds? The sudden shift in work culture has brought new challenges for HR. The top priority for HR professional is now crisis response and how to keep the employees engaged, provide the right communication channels and tools for remote work, and more. Most leaders believe they’re only ‘somewhat ready’ to deal with the outbreak. Almost 7 in 10 HR leaders cite crisis management or business continuity planning as their top challenge during COVID-19 outbreak. Close behind on their list of priorities include managing flexible work arrangements and employee communications to increase awareness. When asked whether they believe the HR department has been adequately trained, equipped and ready to deal with the challenges posed, a majority (42%) believe they’re only moderately ready. About 8% believe they’re sufficiently ready, while a mere 5% cite feeling completely ill-equipped. However, most leaders (88%) said the outbreak has allowed them to effectively demonstrate the importance of HR professional strategies towards mitigating people risks. This study aims to find out the challenges faced by HR professionals to care about the employee’s mental health and well-being and also to provide the necessary arrangements to make a transition in their work from home in selected Indian companies for the selected population size of 150 HR professionals from 200 India.

It is found that Chi –Square value (13.8429) is more than the table value (9.488) of Chi -Square Test (χ2) so null hypothesis (Ho) has been rejected and it is concluded that there is a significant challenges HR is facing in this pandemic period at 5% level of significance.
