ABSTRACT

People were confined to their homes, and were had to face hardships in managing their daily lives. The workplace was no different as working from home became the new normal. COVID19 brought a lot of challenges in managing the human resource due to the various legal challenges that were brought with it. For instance, the mental health issues while working from home, or the lack of vaccination raising safety and privacy concerns for others and for the employees, were among the few challenges that an HR manager had to keep up with. This work highlights some of such legal challenges that were and are being faced in managing the human resource.
