Workplace

Too early to assume of new norms bringing any permanent change in human behaviour

October 1, 2020

HR has to be more predictive of coming days to make their organisations ready for future. Current pandemic has shown that how vulnerable is world today. This vulnerability will increase many fold in coming days. HR has to ensure sustainability of organisations as it is people function.

How do you visualize the new normal of work and workplace beyond covid?

RT Bringing change in human behaviour is not easy. It needs pressuring causes to effect a change. Fear is one of many causes to bring in change in human behaviour but extent of change is proportional to degree of fear & persistency. Higher the degree, greater are chances of permanent change. Old studies have shown it that even people, who swear to changes during critical illness, revert to their old behaviour, the moment they escape threat to their lives.Moreover, societal evolution is due to intense interaction of human kind. Organisations are part & parcel of human society. The moment we cut interactions among people, perhaps it may lead to ruinous outcome. Behaviour what is seen today may be out fear, compulsion and local government directions. Survival instinct is high on alert due to pandemic and perhaps reason of certain human behaviour display, today.
