All I need is sound sleep and want to forget what is happening around me, but unfortunately, there are things that are keeping me on my toes and awake at night”, replied one of the HR professionals when I asked, what is keeping you awake in this crisis?''
Well, sentiments are similar with all the leading CHROs in the industry. Last year, articles were written about what’s the future of HR, surveys were conducted to find out if AI will replace HR. But, people indicated that machines can’t replicate the human touch. And, COVID-19 proved that right!
All CHROs are on the speed dial of their CEOs nowadays because managing people is not an AI’s job or an easy job.
The last few months have seen a whole raft of problems that HR professionals are facing in terms of keeping everything on track. Before this pandemic, people leaders were worried about things such as production, attrition, and upskilling.
But, the circumstances have changed everything, now these leaders are stressed about things such as employee safety, health, etc.
We spoke to some of the leading CHROs across industries and asked them some of their concerns and what keeps them awake in this crisis. There were multiple reasons shared by them, read below to know some of their major concerns.
