many companies and business that is been affected in negative way. The world economy has been
collapsed and so many of the people have lost their job because of the lock down implemented by so
many countries. It has also been analysed that mostly small and medium size business has been affected
by the global pandemic situation (Emon Dastidar, 2019). The world economy has been fallen down and
whole of the world is in situation of crisis.
Background of the study
Moreover, it is found that due to COVID-19 hospitality industry is been adversely affected.
This is because countries have stopped movement of people from one place to another. Also, due to
lock down hotels, pubs, restaurants, etc are closed. Thus, tourism industry growth has gone in negative
way. There are new ways of performing operations and tasks due to which quality of services has
declined. In addition, there is change in people needs as well. They prefer to stay at home and become
more health conscious. So, there is major challenge in front of companies to recover from it. As there
are various restrictions been imposed as well so it has impacted on operations of organisation. in study
conducted it is found that 50% of individual do not want to dine in restaurants. They feel unsafe and not
comfortable as well. In many countries there is ban on cinemas, malls, etc due to which stores sales is
declined. The main sector which is adversely affected in hospitality industry is tourism. The growth of
companies operating in it has declined (Christina Pavlou, 2020). It is because of hault on their
operations such as airlines, etc. all the strategies and plans developed by firms are failed. The goals are
not being attained in it. Moreover, people needs are changed so that is not buying products and services
as well. Various companies have also implicated cuts in employees’ salaries and so many of them have
to even fire their employees. The incident management plan so that they can firmly handle the situation
of crisis.
Besides that, it is found in Mckinsey report (Economic conditions snapshot, June 2020) that
world economies are struggling to recover from pandemic. It is expected that this is worse than
recession of 2008. In China 45 % people said economy condition is worse. Moreover, 12% said that
business operations are affected due to COVID 19. This has resulted in difficulty in future growth and
expansion of hospitality firms. Along with that, there is high decline in sales and revenue of firms. The
hospitality sector is expected to take long time to recover from COVID 19. Due to it, companies are
highly using and adopting technology in order to continue their operations (Brian Westfall, 2019).

Research was carried out with aim of identifying and analysing impact of COVID-19 on talent
management in an organisation. Outcome of the research outlined that COVID-19 like all other sectors
and areas of function have had significant impact of the talent management (Claus, 2019). Research
involved different practices to meet these objectives and outlined that it is very important for strategic
organisation to practice talent management as it involves long-term consideration regarding employees
of organisation. Practicing talent management enables organisations to recruit, hire, develop and retain
best candidates available in job. In relation with an organisation it was both positive as well as negative.
This means that impact of COVID-19 organisation has to lose some of employees as some of them
were laid off because of financial impact that COVID-19 has made on the organisation and some of
employees resigned because of their inability to be present at organisation. Positive impact that
organisation experienced was that because of COVID-19 many of other firms have laid off employees
and because of this reason there was effective and attractive pool of qualified and competent candidates
who were ready to join organisation. Moreover, impact of COVID-19 crisis is also visible on
motivation of the employees as they are dealing with several types of anxieties and along with this fear
of spreading diseases also cause stress in employees. Specifically, while working at an organisation like
coffee shop employee has to be more careful as this can be considered as a public place (Baum and
et.al., 2020). Additionally, requirement of following new guidelines while working also cause difficulty
for employees.
But there are different ways in which organisations can overcome the crisis of COVID-19 as
well as talent management. This involves identifying right kind of talent or employees who are resilient
and inspired. Additionally, working on developing morale of employees can also make effective
contribution in improving performance of employees. It is also important that organisation undertake
training and development session, to ensure that employees are able to work with changing processes.
Research also outlined that open communication and supporting employees by senior management can
also help in overcoming crisis and manage talent in COVID-19.
Research objectives were to understand talent management, its benefits, role of HR in talent
management (Pandita and Ray, 2018). Further research objectives also involved analyzing impact of
COVID-19 on talent management and different ways company can employ to overcome crisis and
talent management within organisation. Because of COVID-19 organisations have faced several
difficulties and their talent management have also been affected because of this. Organisations lay off
employees and this way they had to lose employees and talent that they have worked on developing.
This also affected talent management practices as after COVID-19 crisis several things changed and
because of this organisation as well as employees faced several difficulties and their motivation also
negatively affected. However, practicing right ways can help in overcoming this crisis and manage
talent. Research outlined that new focus of organisation in talent management should be based on post-

element that differentiates it from general HR processes is that talent management involve strategic
approach of organisation. In recent times COVID-19 pandemic has affected every industry and sector
but hospitality sector is one of the worst affected sectors. To makes the research successful on topic on
impact of COVID-19 on talent management in an organization. Researcher has use primary research
methods to collect the information (Caligiuri and et.al., 2020). Another research method that can be
used by researcher is Secondary research methods which is also a one of the most effective research
method to make the research successfully. Both the methods can be used together to create result better
and more accurate for researcher, and they can make the research successful. Primary data is gathered
by different people taken as respondents to participate in questionnaires, surveys to analyse their views
which can be considered as views of the whole population. This type of data is the first-hand data
which is collected in raw form. The secondary data is collected by going through research papers,
books and journals published by well-known authors in order to identify their views regarding topic of
research secondary methods will provide better accuracy and it will save time of researcher. Similarly,
researcher of this study has used Interpretivism research philosophy, but they can also use Positivism
Physiology that states that the genuine knowledge of anything and it is exclusively derived from the
experiences of natural phenomena and their prospective and relationships. This can be usefully in the
future research to collect information in better. There are two approaches of the research that is
inductive and another is deductive (Seetharaman., 2020). To make this research successfully
investigator used inductive methods, but they can also use deductive methods in this methods research
use theories given by other authors and then collecting and analysing data to test those hypotheses.
Inductive and deductive approaches to research can be employed together for a more complete
understanding of the topic that a researcher is studying. Another changes can be done by scholar is in
research is sampling. There are two methods of the sampling and research has used probability
methods, but they can also use non probability methods to make their research successful and more
informative Non-probability sampling is a sampling method in which not all members of the population
have an equal chance of participating in study, unlike probability sampling. Each member of population
has a known chance of being selected.
The researcher can be more accurate and better in the future if researcher uses proper method
for their research and collect information with more detail. Some of the data research methods and
methodologies tools selection can also improve their research. Research should concentrate on data
collection and sampling methods because sampling participants around 10-20 can provide better result
