Employees experienced emotional uncertainty as a result forcing employers to make adjustments, which resulted in a 2.7% rise in turnover rates in March 2020. Companies were left in a state of chaos as a result, with their operations crumbling and personnel quitting who could handle the situation. The circumstances demanded better hiring practices that altered the recruitment landscape.
