Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of various human resource management practices in contributing to employee productivity in remote work environment during the lockdown restrictions imposed because of COVID-19 pandemic. In order to achieve the objectives of our research, we have used descriptive research design and have used a survey method to collect responses of salaried employees working from home during lockdown period. The results of the study suggest that the human resource practices relating to job description, training and development, job security, equal opportunity, performance linked compensation, competence linked compensation, employee welfare all together had a significant positive effect on the maintenance and enhancement of the employee productivity. It helps the organisations to promote healthy communication, participative decision making and strategic planning for current and future growth.
