Management plays an important part in assisting organizations in navigating around the drastic
shifts brought about by the pandemic lockdown.
HR administrators must understand how to increase staff well-being during remote work in times
of distress when keeping personal stress into account. Aside from internal strategic relations, the
company's brand picture should reflect the company's approach to the employees during difficult
periods.

digitalization and remote working models, as well as in the development of modern HR policies.

the pandemic, and organize their staff accordingly.

HRM should take the lead in assisting organizations in navigating around uncertainty, taking into
account the demands of professional development and employee mental health. Companies who
are preparing for the future must change their emphasis to include both corporate sustainability
and organizational safety.
When all employees are not dismissed, the social tension, anxiety, and fear of the majority of the
staff is so strong, so that organizational loyalty suffers, how to overcome this situation the
company should invite motivational speakers how to motivate the employees.

will become sick as a result of the virus, so HRM should be concerned with understanding and
clarifying the regulation around coronavirus concerns how to protect their employees.
