1 Communicate clearly and frequently

One of the most important roles of HR during a crisis is to communicate clearly and frequently with employees, managers, and stakeholders. Communication is essential to provide accurate and timely information, to address employees' concerns and questions, to offer guidance and support, and to maintain trust and engagement. HR policies should outline the communication channels, protocols, and expectations for different scenarios and audiences, and ensure that they are accessible and consistent. HR should also solicit feedback and input from employees and managers, and adjust the communication strategy as needed.

2 Update health and safety protocols

A crisis can pose serious risks to the health and safety of employees, especially if it involves physical hazards, infectious diseases, or violence. HR policies should update the health and safety protocols to comply with the relevant laws and regulations, and to protect employees from harm. HR policies should also provide employees with the necessary resources, equipment, and training to perform their duties safely and effectively. HR should monitor the health and safety situation closely, and implement preventive and corrective measures as required.

One thing i have found very helpful is to see the big picture and think ahead. right from the gate or entrance of the organization, see every spot, point, check, and space as a potential hazard. with this background, you will be able to visualize and think ahead in order to mitigate against any risk. Understanding the risk in any situation and putting 'stop gaps' will go a long way to prevent any imminent crisis or hazards The future of work in the recent diversity and inclusion of the dynamics of employees is a focal point now as this is to ensure employees have a safe space to work in. The era of policies and protocols alone cannot cut it but rather, actionable processes and systems for a healthy psychological space are key.

3 Adjust work arrangements and expectations

A crisis can also affect the work arrangements and expectations of employees, depending on the nature and severity of the situation. HR policies should adjust the work arrangements and expectations to accommodate the changing needs and circumstances of employees and the organization. For example, HR policies may allow or require employees to work remotely, to modify their schedules, to reduce their workload, or to take on different roles or tasks. HR policies should also clarify the performance evaluation and compensation criteria, and recognize the achievements and contributions of employees.

4 Provide flexibility and support

A crisis can have a significant impact on the personal and professional lives of employees, causing stress, anxiety, fear, or grief. HR policies should provide flexibility and support to employees who may be facing personal or family challenges, or who may need assistance or counseling. HR policies should offer employees options and choices to balance their work and life commitments, such as flexible hours, leaves of absence, or childcare arrangements. HR policies should also provide employees with access to mental health and wellness programs, such as employee assistance programs, online counseling, or peer support groups.

One time at work, i did not readily understand the power of flexibility, good and appropriate support to team members. this has a huge psychological effect on staff motivation and performance. the environment and the feel- good atmosphere and office environment permeate has a long-lasting effect on the mental health of every employee. It is not about stress because sometimes stress could play a significant physical ability but it is our management level and the conscious effort of discovery that we combine with our passion strength and performance strength that will make us reach our peak performance zone. A potpourri of employee-centered policies and a great learning environment rather than a work place is a good way to promote HR

5 Promote learning and development

A crisis can also create opportunities for learning and development, both for individuals and for the organization. HR policies should promote learning and development to help employees acquire new skills, knowledge, or competencies that can enhance their performance, career growth, or resilience. HR policies should also encourage employees to share their experiences, insights, or best practices with their colleagues, managers, or mentors, and to learn from others. HR policies should also support organizational learning and development , by conducting reviews, evaluations, or audits of the crisis response, and by identifying areas for improvement or innovation.

6 Foster a positive culture and climate

A crisis can test the culture and climate of an organization, revealing its strengths and weaknesses, its values and norms, and its level of cohesion and collaboration. HR policies should foster a positive culture and climate that can help the organization survive and thrive during and after a crisis. HR policies should reinforce the mission, vision, and values of the organization, and align them with the actions and behaviors of employees and managers. HR policies should also foster a culture and climate of trust, respect, diversity, inclusion, and recognition, and celebrate the achievements and successes of the organization and its members.

In my experience in HR, one key driver across all spectrum of work is a healthy culture. the value proposition and ethics the company promotes is a huge determinant of the attraction, recruitment, and employee retention of such companies. employers of labour must wake up to the realization that today's employees need more than just ergonomic chairs and the aesthetics of the workplace but a place they can also call their own, even when they are fully aware that they donot hold monetary shares in the company but they feel a sense of ownership and commitment which will make them improve and put in their best to see that the organization grows and their personal and career aspirations are not also in the back seat.
