This article is an original contribution to the relevant domain of L&D in the present context. It offers policy guidelines to L&D professionals to revamp their existing L&D strategy and implement newer initiatives. In addition, the article extends the literature on workplace L&D by highlighting key practices needed for rolling-out a novel L&D strategy specifically in the COVID-19 context.
