HR managers are facing the challenge of keeping their employees productive, motivated, engaged, and connected in the current circumstances. These factors are constantly changing in the new normal. As a result, HR managers are reconsidering their responsibilities during the coronavirus pandemic.
HR leaders who prioritize complexity understand that company performance is influenced by effective communication, optimistic attitudes, and employees taking responsibility for their actions. Rather than simply assigning punishment for infractions, it is important to engage in open dialogue with teams, discussing the specific issue at hand and its implications.
This approach fosters a culture of transparency and encourages employees to take ownership of their behavior. By communicating openly about problems and their impact, HR leaders can adapt to the challenges posed by uncertain times and improve overall organizational resilience.

HR is responsible for implementing strategies to enhance the skills of employees across an organization. However, it is common for HR staff themselves to be neglected in this process. Phyllis G. Hartman's A Manager's Guide to Developing Competencies in HR Staff (SHRM, 2017) aims to address this issue by providing guidance for managers.
The guide focuses on developing the capabilities and expertise of HR staff members. It offers insights and practical advice on how to maximize the potential of HR professionals and ensure they possess the necessary competencies to excel in their roles. By utilizing this resource, managers can support the growth and development of their HR staff, ultimately benefiting both the individuals and the organization as a whole.
Understanding the business or organization and its mission and goals is crucial for HR managers. They need to be aware of what is important for the organization's success. The first step for HR managers is to collaborate with the management team, learn about the goals, and then apply them to the HR function.
