Covid-19 is presenting HR professionals with several challenges. We are suddenly faced with a new reality of how to conduct business in the middle of a worldwide pandemic. In these times, Human Resources departments need to seek and implement new working arrangements to help adapt to the new situation. How have we, as HR executives and professionals, managed to step up to the current crisis and contributed to the smooth functioning of our organisation during these difficult times ? What challenges are we facing and where can we learn from other HR professionals' experiences ?

Join our peer-to-peer discussion on the following aspects:

Managing employees both with work from home and at the office.

• Rotating staff, shift-work and re-organisation of teams.
• Providing the right communication channels and tools for remote work, gathering updates and providing support.
• What health & safety measures are still being taken by your business/company ? What has been relaxed ?
• Pre-interview questions for visitors and candidates – what has been their exposure to Covid-19 ?
• Managing mental health and wellbeing issues at the office or remotely.

Hiring & letting go

• Reduction of staff vs. reduction of salaries & benefits (in some teams or across the board)
• Retaining existing & recruiting talented local staff in key areas.
• Supporting your departing employees with their professional profiles and resumes (Botox Your LinkedIn and Resume)

Employing new expatriate staff and bringing existing team members / executives from abroad back to Thailand under Covid-19 restrictions

Employee communication

• Updates regarding measures taken by the Business / Company – keeping your employees informed.
