It's time to address the impact of the Covid-19 mortality rate on productivity, talent sustainability and the future of SA's organisationsThe global Covid-19 pandemic has irrevocably changed the operating environment of human resources managers. The theory of a hybrid working environment composed of a mix of on-premise personnel and those working from home is becoming the norm in the age of corona.
Our daily conversations already evolved at the start of the pandemic to integrate new phrases such as “sorry, I was on mute”, and now these are taking a more sombre turn in that funerals are also taking a spot on the virtual-call discussion agenda. The timelines of social-media platforms, even professional ones such as LinkedIn and Workplace by Facebook, are filled with “rest in peace” posts, as well as commemorative messages like “you have left a void in the industry”.
Over the course of the last few months, the majority of organisations responded to the crises by mainly focusing on balancing lives, the livelihoods of their employees and keeping the business’ lights on and doors open. Topics of discussion in most seminars and webinars today range from possible return to work models through to adapting to the new normal.
Sadly, and as sensitive as it is, death is inevitable. The daily loss of talent is surely something that should trigger reactions from those who are responsible to ensure business continuity. In the corporate world we normally plan for talent loss in a controllable way, mainly looking at talent tenure and progression possibilities to gauge the risk posed by employee churn.
