Sažetak
The COVID-19 pandemic caused profound social and economic changes, and led to radical changes in organizational culture in numerous global companies, whereby employees were placed in focus as the central, most significant resource of competitiveness and organizational success. The mentioned changes penetrate deeply into the very essence of contemporary organization, work ethics, as well as the purpose of work and work processes, which opens numerous new areas and discourses, both in
scientific theory and in managerial practice. The aim of this work is to review - test the thesis that The COVID-19 pandemic caused a paradigm shift in human resource management and leadership in general through the gradual affirmation of the so-called employees-first concept. Through the method of multiple case studies, the authors analyze 15 structured interviews of managers of successful global companies, available in secondary sources (CNN Business). Based on the analysis carried out, the
authors conclude in the paper that, based on Kuhn’s paradigm change cycle, today we are witnessing a new HRM paradigm that took place under the strong influence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
