Management, as many experts’ view, is a process that involves a number of functions. It refers to various functions performed by managers to ensure that the available materials and human resources are efficiently utilized to achieve the desired objectives (Ward, 2021). Based from the management theory of Fayol, he described management as a process of five functions such as planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating and controlling. Modern authors, however, do not view co-ordination as a separate function of management. It is mainly the task of planning, coordinating, motivating and controlling the efforts of others towards a specific objective. Thus, the functions of planning, organizing, staffing, directing, co-coordinating and controlling fall under the process of management. Whether its people are working from home or back in the office — support systems, communication and innovation channels for continued change management, and transformation need to remain alive and well for employees in the long term (Carroll, 2020).
