Abstract
Diseases are not alien to human society. Corona virus disease 2019 is highly dreaded due to its high infectious capacity and its worldwide coverage. It violates geographical boundaries to attack people of all colours, races and ages, which represent the human resource of the organisations and countries. When the health of the employees is compromised, the productive activities within an organisation and nation will suffer. Using secondary source of data, it was discovered that there is high reduction in the quantity of goods and services produced on the part of the organisations, thereby resulting in low mobility of labour, low recruitment, poor human resource planning, reduction in wages and salaries, frustration of employment contracts and layoffs. It is recommended that government should create a post covid-19 enabling environment where businesses can thrive, organisations should provide the health and safety equipment to employees at workplace, employees should adhere to all safety measures in order to curb the pandemic and use the lockdown to improve their skills and competences by taking advantage of the online programmes that are related to their job performance.
