Abstract

This research paper explores how training and  development in the field of Human Resource Management  (HRM) has been impacted due to COVID-19. For this a  hypothesis testing using chi-square test was conducted  to understand whether skill development working from  home is dependent on preference of training. Post analysis  the hypothesis was tested to be affirmative viz. there is  an association between the two variables mentioned  above. Along with the hypothesis testing, a reliability  test using Cronbach’s Alpha was conducted. It proved  that the couple of cases taken for testing were reliable  and significant. The data collection is based on primary  as well as secondary data collected by the researchers. A  study through a questionnaire was administered and the  analysis was inferred in the case of primary data. In the  case of secondary data, data was collected from business  papers and through authorized sites over the internet. The  study explored to prove the alternate hypothesis, which  eventually led to the null hypothesis being accepted.
