Question

Last year, your company was heavily affected by Covid 19. The company suffered both financially and emotionally. Workers did not get their annual salary increment. The workshop planned for senior management could not be held. Moreover, two workers (one female and one male) at different times lost their lives to the disease. Recognising the trauma that the company and its workers went through, you think that it is prudent this year to make it up to the workers. What would you advise management to do? What will be priority? Suggest four strategies, identifying a number of activities under each.

The role of the HR department in integrating businesses into the post-pandemic world has been quite crucial.
