HR planning:

Being a HR manager i am divided HR planning into different phases for making a effective HR
polices for our employees. This phase is following:

Phase 1: When the risk of transmission in your region is low

At this stage, it is important to keep employees aware of the condition and inform them that you
will need to take additional steps if outbreaks of the virus are spreading in your region. Focus your
email on the importance of cleanliness and guidelines for those traveling or planning to travel to
high-risk areas.

Phase 2: When the risk of transmission in your region is moderate

At this point, it is time to start implementing more complex measures, such as limiting visitors to
the office. You also need to get your teams ready for the next phase. Keep in mind that as the
outbreak increases, employees may feel overwhelmed by it. So, make sure you give them clear
guidelines and set the right tone so that they are all calm but alert. Remember, you are here to help
and support them in any way you can.
Phase 3: When the risk of transmission in your region is moderate-high
At this stage, Employees are already aware of the situation and are expected to seek remedial
measures. But with the official announcement of COVID-19 being infectious, you need to take
more stringent measures, such as closing down offices and adopting a completely virtual work
model. Employees expect such a transformation, but make sure you give them all the resources they
need to accommodate them as easily as possible.

site. HR professionals can also demonstrate recognition through the company's social media
channels to inform employees by name of their commitment to work on the issue, according to a

measures to encourage sick workers to stay home, send marked workers home until they return to
work safely, and require workers returning from high-risk areas to work during cold installations.

to protect their employees and their future business operations. We will continue to monitor the
COVID-19 outbreak closely, following the lead of the World Health Organization.
