Current corporate and public policies are written into employee handbooks where they are lauded as supportive economic, social, and sustainable policies for helping people (i.e., workers) achieve humane needs, but are proving to be lacking for truly providing support in the most troubling times. The Solution The field of Human Resource Management (HRM) and Human Resource Development (HRD) provide unique perspectives on developmental, performance-enhancing, and supportive structures for organizations to thrive. This Issue examines methods for creating truly supportive policies amidst the fallout of the global pandemic not only supports organizational longevity but demonstrates how valued employees truly are within the organization while meeting the labor demands of the market. The Stakeholders This Special Issue reflects the strong correlation of work-life balance with HRD researchers, administrators and practitioners alike who recognize the value of employee leave and effective policy implementation.","PeriodicalId":51549,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Developing Human Resources","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2021-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1523422320982922","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42038253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Everything we know and understand about flexible work arrangements (FWAs) revolves around extant research exploring the effects and effectiveness of FWAs based on samples in which organizations and/or employees freely adopted their use. In a post COVID-19 world, organizations implemented FWAs and employees who may not have been prepared for or desired such arrangements. This has resulted in implementing FWAs in situations where the job, culture, or person does not “support” FWAs. The Solution. We suggest the economic uncertainty of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic should shift Human Resource Development (HRD) attention to managing the organizational climate of work and work expectations, specifically with regard to FWAs. We discuss how HRD practitioners can help, specifically by preparing managers for enhanced communication and feedback, as well as through supporting employee development via proactive job crafting, to better prepare managers and workers to accept and flourish in FWAs both short and long term. The Stakeholders. The stakeholders for this article include decision-makers in organizations interested in driving success through long-term initiatives rooted in developing human capital. In addition, this article should resonate with HRD professionals interested in working with managers and employees to systematically build sustainable FWA systems.","PeriodicalId":51549,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Developing Human Resources","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2021-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1523422320982933","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41608113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the employee leave process is managed by an organization’s Human Resource Management (HRM) function, in most cases these laws and internal organizational policies and procedures do not address the training needs related to the employee’s return to work and subsequent integration into the workplace. Training, and Development is a component of Human Resource Development (HRD) and thus HRD should be largely involved in the employee’s transition back to work. In addition, supervisors/managers should examine their role in to evaluating the training needs of the employee and facilitating a successful post-leave return to work. The HRD literature can benefit from an integrated model of. The Solution This article reviews an important workplace phenomenon existing at the intersection of Human Resource Management (HRM) policies related to employee leave and HRD practices related to addressing training needs upon return to work and emphasizing employee orientation and integration back into the workforce. As a major component of HRD, Organization Development (OD) can also be employed to create a supportive organizational culture for employees on leave. We synthesize existing research on post-leave and rely on the HRD literature to propose solutions that highlight employee training and development interventions. Recommendations for practitioners include how to improve the workplace environment for employees prior to their leave as well as upon return, how to enhance the existence of orientation programs, and how to properly train managers to work well with employees and assess their training needs upon return from leave. The Stakeholders HRD practitioners that are looking to improve leave policies and documented practices as they pertain to the performance and training needs of leave-taking employees upon returning to work as well as managers that strive to ensure returning employees have the knowledge and skills necessary to regain previous levels of competence and productivity will be interested in this research.","PeriodicalId":51549,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Developing Human Resources","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2021-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1523422320982935","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48382198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Covid-19 pandemic brought unprecedented crisis to a world already undergoing digital transformation. Millions of people began working virtually to prevent the spread of disease and to maintain business continuity, suddenly participating in virtual human resource development (VHRD) and alternative work strategies that helped organizations adapt to current challenges and prepare for future disruption. The purpose of this article is to analyze VHRD’s role in the crisis and the transition to a new era marked by further disruption and change. The Recommendation. This article provides a primer for understanding the environmental perspective of VHRD, analyzes reskilling and upskilling trends during the pandemic and for early stages of the fourth industrial revolution, and addresses learning, adaptation, cultural, workplace, and economic implications. We argue that many of the changes to the workplace were already underway, but the pandemic has accelerated transformation. For this reason, organizations must anticipate more digital transformation, strategize VHRD, and leverage learning assets to prepare for the future. The Stakeholders. This article is of interest to those helping their organizations to not only recover from crisis, but to thrive in a new era of work that is being fundamentally transformed by technology. The audience includes organizational leaders, HRD professionals, workers, scholars, as well as school personnel seeking to prepare learners for future career conditions.","PeriodicalId":51549,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Developing Human Resources","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1523422320973288","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41429610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Solution Organizations must engage in a paradigm and cultural shift to achieve the benefits of work-life policies and practices. An organizational culture that moves beyond a human resource management (HRM) lens of administration and compliance to a human resource development (HRD) lens of support and development is central to overcoming this challenge.

Aside from mastering technical skills needed to maintain an uninterrupted learning environment, faculty were challenged with mastering social-emotional competencies for maintaining continuity in relationships (e.g. student/peer, student/instructor). This dilemma highlights transdisciplinary relationships between the fields of human relations (HRL) and human resource development (HRD). The Recommendation In this article, a framework is introduced and recommended for understanding the experiences of a university faculty member who, in addition to mastering technical competencies (e.g., coaching, care, collaboration), was also challenged with developing social-emotional support behaviors (e.g., emotional, instrumental, informational) while maintaining continuity in established relationships as a transdisciplinary HRL/HRD response to the pandemic.

Learning (and unlearning) by its very nature will play an outsize role in our reinvention and renewal. Much of that learning will be informal and incidental learning. How can complexity science help us think about informal and incidental learning in a pandemic and how might we develop our capacity to productively learn given these turbulent circumstances? The Recommendation Workplace educators are encouraged to take a complexity perspective on their work post-COVID-19 and to enlarge their repertoire of responses to learning needs to include informal and incidental learning. A critical role for these individuals will be to help workers increase their skill in being proactive, critically reflective, creative, and playful as they learn informally. We encourage use of design thinking—coupled with knowledge-intensive tools, data visualization modeling, imagination, and abductive reasoning—to reframe how we learn in times of complexity in the time of COVID-19. The Stakeholders All of us have to learn our way through during this great reset. Every sector, every workplace, will be affected by the changes wrought by a pandemic and an economy in jeopardy. Thus all who learn and particularly those of us who help shape and guide workplace learning have a stake in understanding complexity and how to enhance informal and incidental learning as a strategically important response to these times.","PeriodicalId":51549,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Developing Human Resources","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2020-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1523422320973656","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44082178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aside from disrupting daily routines and ways of working, the pandemic has unmasked significant and troubling differences in the treatment and status of productive and reproductive labor. As we recover from the pandemic, how can workplaces properly recognize and value the contribution of reproductive labor? The Recommendation We focus on ethics of care as a foundational aspect of learning and human development. Care is proximal and contextual and expressions of care require managers and HRD professionals to engage with and address employees’ needs in a way that recognizes the complexity of individual situations. This may lead to the transformation of work and workplaces and bring employees into a more participatory, inclusive and democratic relationship with employers.
