Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic caused many adverse situations and uncertainty. It made many workers move from brick-and-mortar buildings to virtual remote environments. This also made employees work alone without the support of anyone. The lack of physical contact with others has likely to impede the career development and progress of employees. Hence, the roles of HRD professionals have gained significance. HRD managers could provide virtual mentoring, work-life balance, learning, support etc., for enhancing an overall sense of well-being and belongingness for employees working in remote environments. It not only made employees show resilient behaviour but also witnessed organizations adopt resilient work culture. Besides these, the pandemic offered some new strategies for organizations and HR managers. It made a revolutionary change in employment that provided insights into HRM interventions.
