The Role of International Labour Standard in Human Resource Management and Teleworking During the Coronavirus Pandemic
Keywords:
Teleworking, International labour standard, Working conditions, International Labour Organization, Human resource managementAbstract
This article presents issues of the impact of Coronavirus pandemic, so teleworking becomes alternative business agility and new working conditions of many workers. Those include employment agreement, working time, and labour protection. The author proposes that standard full-time worker and employee’s perspective must be considered for human resource management. Examining the role of international labour standards in the framework of human resource management is essential for human resource professionals, since future works will definitely change the employment pattern and be more flexible in time. Therefore, teleworkers will face more challenges on insecurity and uncertainty in the post-coronavirus context.
