Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about an unprecedented emphasis on the slogan “Work from Home!” We must however ask ourselves, “Are our homes truly designed to act as workplaces?” Most “lockdowns” did not provide enough advance warnings for the workforce and HR professionals to even contemplate about reimagining their home as their office. Apart from an in-depth exploration of novel post-pandemic workplace adaptations for the OB/HR profession in several sectors, this article shall also explore, in conjunction, other impacts relevant to these novel workplace adaptations, which “shelter-in-place” or “lockdown” restrictions have had such as the sudden brakes on excessively materialistic lifestyles of the urban populace, disruptions in population density, likely changes in labor migration patterns, etc. and all other changes that are likely to stay. Lastly, the various trends in general mental health of the populace as ramifications of the lockdowns (both positive and negative) have been discussed.
