Covid-19 has shaken the foundations of human civilization. Social distancing, lockdowns, travel restrictions are the new words, which coronavirus has taught us. And these are here to stay, as the impact of the virus has gone deep into the collective human psyche. The catchwords ‘shrinking world’, ‘one-world’ are now on the way out, as nations/societies and even families will pay more attention to what enters within their boundaries. The coronavirus is responsible for the shift in the mindset & for new normal. We are an increasingly digital civilization now.
Hence, the purpose of the book is to look into the ways in which the pandemic has affected the ways of life, perceptions of people on various ways of working adopted in this time and to study how the people in the workforce has adapted or is adapting to the new normal that has been thrust on the world by this pandemic.
The book covers eclectic topics, ranging from actions of various entities like NGO’s to the incredibly popular WFH culture, to employees’ productivity-efficiency-motivation, work-life balance, freelancing to uncertainty of jobs and all the internal and external factors that affect an organization. The book will be very useful to HR policy makers, practitioners, academician and Human Resource Management Professionals which provides meaningful insights and takeaways for organizations in the current testing time.
