Abstract
The primary objective of this investigation was to assess the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the realm of human resource management. Due to the limited existing research in this area, the researcher conducted this study to contribute to the existing literature and provide guidance for organisations and human resource managers. Employing a qualitative approach, this paper conducted a literature review to gather data and utilized thematic data analysis for data interpretation. The results indicate that the COVID-19 pandemic has had and continues to have significant effects on three core human resource functions: recruitment and selection, performance management, and talent management. The transition to remote work has led to the digitization of recruitment and selection processes, posing challenges for HR professionals in managing performance. Additionally, the evolving landscape has underscored the importance of talent management as a critical function for organisational success.
