Business Lessons from Covid
The lessons that businesses have learned from COVID include that they need to place a greater
emphasis on their employees, be receptive to new methods of doing business, and move quickly
to follow organisational trends. My first order of business if I were acting in the role of HR
Manager or Director would be to investigate the impact that COVID has had on the company as
quickly as possible. In light of the new rules and regulations brought about by COVID, it is
necessary to formulate and implement fresh policies and processes. It is essential to develop
policies and procedures that are more oriented toward the workers in order to increase the
likelihood of employee retention. In addition to this, I would make it a point to promote activities
inside the business that centre on safety, both internally for the staff and outside for the
consumers and clients. As the number of jobs that may be done remotely grows and as wage
competition begins to have an impact on the labour force, I want to make it a priority to learn
about what other businesses in my region are doing to guarantee that I can compete favourably in
the war for talent. I would make an effort to provide applicants with entirely remote, fully onsite, and hybrid employment possibilities; this way, candidates will have the ability to choose
various employment arrangements that are suitable for them. Wages would also be a focus in
order to guarantee that workers are rewarded appropriately and to attract new employees.
Moreover, this would help retain current employees. Because there are constantly new methods
of businesses seeking to remain competitive, opportunities to acquire new skill sets would need
to be a focal area. This would need making it a priority. If you were to offer me the position of
HR Manager or Director, one of my primary responsibilities would be to ensure that the
workplace I build is both creative and welcoming to people of all backgrounds.
