The major changes brought about by the pandemic forced companies to accelerate the transition to digital processes. At the heart of these transformations, the HR function was at the front line, managing an unprecedented reorganization of work to ensure business continuity. In this context of uncertainty, where an increasingly alarming atmosphere prevails due to an unstable future, companies are still trying to survive in order to ensure their sustainability.
