“…How to select employees when it is not allowed to meet them face to face, due to the physical distancing measures? In these circumstances, these organizations had no other choice but to reorient their practices toward virtual recruitment and selection methods, another significant challenge for recruiters in corporations as well as job applicants (Vosko, et al, 2022).…”

The Perpetual Group of Companies, primarily a health and academic community, had been challenged by the drastic effects of COVID-19 resulting in the deaths of some frontliners and creating fear among its managers, faculty, doctors, and allied medical personnel. Some students who presumably have higher immunity compared with their mentors have been reported to be sick, thus missing some synchronous class meetings. Given this scenario, it is imperative for top management to solicit members of the organization to find innovative solutions to ensure the continuity of the business units in helping their employees to cope with the unprecedented crisis. While the business managers had explored scientific strategies, COVID-19’s impact on its personnel continues to require innovations to help each other in surmounting their problems in life and at work. This paper discusses a general impression of perpetualite’s attempt to broaden the scope of an organizational intervention by exploring the impact of COVID-19 on its organization, more specifically, its human capital. It will attempt to revive the Institutional Loyalty Program as a way of identifying the main challenges and opportunities as a logical antidote to the pandemic towards using it as an organization development (OD) tool.

“…On the other hand, in the Canadian case, the themes and theoretical debates have revolved around essential workers, structural vulnerability and stigmatization (Becerril, 2022;Barron, 2021;Marsden, Tucker, and Vosko, 2021;Labrecque, 2020;Hennebry et al, 2020), lockdowns and restrictions for day laborers (Joffe, 2021), infections and deaths from coronavirus (Whitewashed, 2022), worker racialization (Alook, Block, & Galabuzi, 2021), transnational job tension and pandemic (Vosko, et al, 2022), crisis of social reproduction of migrant farmworkers (Vosko and Spring, 2021), and breach of rules by employers (Meza, 2020).…”

The global pandemic of COVID-19 has upended a key pillar of global capitalism: the organization of work. This pandemic context made it necessary for the so-called "essential work" to require a theoretical and political debate. This article is developed from the argument that the public health crisis brought with it a labor crisis and an expansion of tensions between the reproduction of social life and the reproduction of labor exploitation relations. With this, not only is transnational labor tension transferred to the temporary employment market, but it also implies the reorganization of agricultural work in temporary programs (American and Canadian), reproducing class, gender, ethnicity, and generation inequalities in localities of origin and of settlement.and gender-The impacts of COVID-19 on the reorganization processes of temporary transnational work, its labor tensions and implications for the health of Mexican day laborers, men and women, who migrate to the United States and Canada. Using a mixed methodology, the multiple effects of COVID-19 on the experiences of male and female workers were examined. The statistics of the institutions of the three countries (Mexico, USA and Canada) were also analyzed to explore the sociodemographic profile of migrants. The results show that, between 2020 and 2022, precarious working and health conditions of migrants persisted. Their situation of structural vulnerability and the prevailing gender inequality was more evident. BesidesofThe potential risks of contracting coronavirus were high as workers were permanently exposed by living in overcrowded housing, crowded transportation to farm fields, not having sufficient handwashing facilities, and not having full social security.
