Abstract

At its core the COVID-19 pandemic is a human crisis. Thus, human resource (HR) leaders
have been central to the response in organisations globally. This contrasts with previous
crises such as the global recession of 2008 through 2009 or the Y2K crisis at the turn of the
millennium that accentuated the roles of finance and IT leaders, respectively. By amplifying
the role of HR leaders, COVID-19 has become an inflection point with substantive
implications for HR globally. In this commentary, we reflect on the implicationsof COVID-19
for HR research, including identifying some key research questions for strategic human
resource management (HRM).
This narrow focus limits our understanding of key questions exposed during COVID-19. For
example, the pandemic requires a shift in understanding of how work context, such asworking
onsite versus working from home (WFH), influences employee behaviours and actions. The
pandemic has also exposed tensions among stakeholders and challenges the primacy of the
shareholder view which has dominated thinking in strategic HRM.
The method used in this research is literature review. The research results note that whileHR
has taken strategic steps, the tensions surrounding its role have come to light during the
pandemic, highlighting the requirements for both strategic and tactical contributions
