Purpose: The purpose of the present research article is to know the extent of Human Resource (HR) disclosure practices and effects of various independent variables on HR disclosure practices in selected Indian listed companies. Design/methodology/approach: Initially, Human Resource Disclosure Index (HRDI) of 91 items is constructed for 63 companies listed on the NSE-100 index. After that, the effect of various independent variables is analyzed on HRDI. Finally, independent variables are regressed with HRDI to find the important independent variables which influences the HRDI. The relationship between industry type and HR disclosure has been studied using one-way ANOVA and the comparison between public and private sector has been studied using the Mann–Whitney U test. Findings: The findings of the study show that net fixed assets, net sales, market capitalization, earnings per share (EPS), the debt–equity ratio and total number of pages of an annual report have a significant effect on HRDI. The remaining variables show insignificant association with HRDI. HRDI has been reported differently by different industries, while public and private companies do not differ in case of HR disclosure practices. Originality/value: This study provides the valuable information and contributes in existing literature. The HR disclosure index created in this study may be utilized by the companies as a benchmark to enhance their HR disclosure in future.

PurposeHuman history observed an arduous time fighting the novel infectious respiratory disease Covid-19 coronavirus, which started in Wuhan, China and spread rapidly across the globe in 2020. Economies and the countries including India around the world experienced dismay with nationwide lockdowns and the fear of the unknowing. The unforeseen circumstances enforced immediate transitions in the organizations' work environment through remote working, digital infrastructure, online collaborations and new ways of interaction. The pandemic altered the workplace trajectories in lasting ways as the employees settled into a new routine of working from home more quickly than imagined. Now, as India and many other countries slowly move beyond the crisis, there exists a need to realize the implications of the pandemic on the workplace and articulate the future of work. This article, therefore, investigates the key perceived benefits and the HR implications of the new and emerging concept of hybrid workplaces and presents an HRM framework for their successful adoption in India. The findings may prove crucial in framing new workplace norms and shaping them. Moreover, this research would provide practitioners, policymakers, business leaders and HR professionals insights about the need to review the existing workplaces and successfully roll out hybrid work models in accordance with HR strategies.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology of Systematic Review of Literature (SLR) was adopted to study the key perceived benefits and the HR implications of hybrid workplaces.FindingsThe findings of the study would help business leaders, HR professionals, policymakers and researchers in developing HR policies and approaches for the adoption of the hybrid workplace as they chart the path toward the post-pandemic future.Research limitations/implicationsThe study stresses the HR implications of the future of work as the hybrid workplace paradigm evolves. The approach is explorative and would require quantitative validation in different sectors and countries.Originality/valueThe study makes a direct link between the hybrid workplaces and the impetus for the transformation of HR strategies. It also examines the changing role of the human resources (HR) functions and professionals after the pandemic.
As the world moves deeper into the fourth industrial revolution, organizations around the world are polarizing towards the transformation and adoption of the advanced technologies of Industry 4.0. However, recent studies suggest that organizations struggle and face several managerial challenges in their implementation. As a consequence, many studies examined the potential factors that can influence Industry 4.0 implementation. Based on a systematic literature review, this study has tried to explore, examine, and synthesize the potential human resource (HR) success factors and develop an efficient Industry 4.0 HR framework that can play a vital role in Industry 4.0 implementation. This study would also build a solid foundation for practitioners, academicians, and researchers to get a better understanding of the impact of Industry 4.0 on HR management.
