5 ways HR will change in the post-pandemic era

As businesses captain their workforce through the pandemic, here are 5 ways we expect human resource management to change.

  1. HR teams will have to deal with high rates of marijuana usage. With increased free time and limited ability to monitor a remote workforce, marijuana usage is rising, especially among the youthful population.
  2. HR professionals will increasingly depend on technology to automate HR processes. COVID-19 has forced HR experts to adopt the use of software for some of their recruiting services, and the end of the pandemic will not stop the automation of HR services
  3. Remote work will now be a long-term solution for a majority of businesses. The cost-cutting benefits that remote work offers employers and employees alike are an incentive to turn remote work into a permanent solution.
  4. With partial or a full remote staff, HR professionals have to find creative ways to integrate remote work without losing the company’s culture. They need to find ways to keep people connected and maintain employee engagement.
  5. HR teams will modify employee benefits. Incentives such as free lunches and commuter benefits have become irrelevant.
