Abstract
A knowledge-based organization such as educational institutes, consultancy firms require certain skills from their employees. Among many, the prime duty of the department of human resource management (HRM) of an organization is to identify the required skills for a particular task or job. HRM searches those skills during the time of recruitment. However, skills are not constant; rather, they are dynamic. Different eras require different skills to perform any task successfully. During the post-pandemic period of COVID-19, usage of technology in educational institute for their regular tasks such as lecture delivery, online assessment, seminars, conducting workshops have increased rapidly. Unfortunately, the academicians in many cases are not trained to perform these tasks in an efficient manner. This is especially true for developing countries like Bangladesh, where the transition from an analog to a digital world is still in progress. The chapter focuses on how HRM in any knowledge-based organization can play a very crucial role to convert its human resources into human capital.
