Abstract

It was early in March 2021 when the offices of Learning Management Pro (LMP) were preparing to reopen, after two years during COVID-19 pandemic. Employees had been working from home and all of the hiring and onboarding completed by the HR team had been conducted online. The switch to online hiring and onboarding had advantages and disadvantages and Asha Jemerson, director of human resources at LMP was not sure that they should switch back to their pre-pandemic approach to hiring and onboarding. This case, based on real people and real organizations, is meant for HR undergraduate or graduate courses, and explores concepts related to moving traditionally in-person business functions to an online environment
