HR during a pandemic — What do you do when your staff test C19 positive and die? Professor Shirley Zinn (Non-Exec Director of Boards, Author of 'Swimming Upstream', Coach, Mentor, and Entrepreneur) Human Resource (HR) executives have found themselves in the corporate nucleus of this pandemic storm. COVID-19, WFH...through to 'Black Lives Matter' are rocking the foundations of every business - crazy times which HR folks have to orchestrate. Shirley is considered the leading HR exec in South Africa and after a friendly catch-up call, which FLOORED me, I decided that we just had to do this recording. Herein she articulates real-world challenges associated with that dreaded confirmation that your staff member, or team, have tested COVID-19 positive. What do you do? What do you say? What if one or several of them die? - she describes examples of organizations and leaders getting it right and those that just do not. Leadership, organizational restructuring, compensation, performance management, employee wellness...SO so so many fascinating learnings in here! Shirley's transversal experiences/insights into what companies are grappling with today are real-world, tangible, frightening and practical. Goosebumps!!
