With India and the world dealing with its largest humanitarian crisis with the onset of the second wave of the Covid 19 pandemic, we have seen a huge impact on the business, economy, and the overall growth of the nation, causing significant disruption across the economy in the last few months. 

The Human Resources Function along with the entire organization is facing a dynamic and complex environment but the capability to deal or handle these changes successfully depends on one factor alone – the Workforce. Human Resource, though a very complex resource, plays a pivotal role in every organization and it is imperative to have a workforce that is happy, secure, and satisfied to increase efficiency and loyalty. This often calls for the HR function in an organization to be more strategic, effective as well as adaptable as the workforce today is setting in motion fundamental changes like remote working, temp staffing, freelance roles, future-proofing strategies, etc. There is a growing need for specialized skills in the workforce. In all this turmoil of change, one thing is crystal clear – HR is facing new challenges and it is necessary to re-think strategies and Re-Invent HR.
