Abstract

Human resources evolved after industrialization when labour welfare became the main social reform across industries. It deals with vast functions like employment, wage and salary administration, industrial relations, organizational planning and development, and employee services for the workforce. Therefore, human resources must frame their policies, rules, and regulations within the legal and ethical frameworks of the nation in which the organization is operating. Adherence to legal and ethical bases define organization's health such as productive efficiency, labour turnover, internal mobility, complaints and grievances, accidents, and other related parameters that indicate profitability, sustainability, social justice, and others. Historical growth and development underwent tremendous changes due to technological intervention in human resource functions. The major push in digital transformation was due to uncertainties and ambiguities resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic that caused changes in structure, workforce, and decision-making processes of organizations globally.
