Pandemic has offered a golden opportunity and proposition to companies globally to let go old timers in the name of cost reduction and poor performance and talent shopping spree of new age high quality talent at a reduced discounted cost. An attractive bargain price!
What happens in this ruthless talent refurbishment exercise is erosion of value for Human Resources.
Harnessing and leveraging the opportunity pandemic offers of abundance of talent or exploiting the situation for business gains depends upon which side of the table you are.
