N2 - The pandemic period has placed the organizations in a state of great tension. It has
generated a situation of confusion, lack of rules, and production-related criticalities that
have called into question the very existence of many productive realities. This article
aims to highlight the dimensions of care and ethics put in place by HR managers in
COVID-19. The objective that animated the authors have focused on the HRM level of
medium and large companies in Italy to highlight the protective actions toward people
and the organization in the period COVID 19, highlighting what were the ethical values
and actions of care put in place. In this article, we wanted to give voice to managers
(N = 45, including 21 women and 24 men, aged between 40 and 55 years old) who
had management tasks in their organizations by asking them to tell us how they dealt
with the challenges imposed by the emergency. In the research, we start from a way
of understanding workplaces understood as a “process of ongoing social relationship”
within which the HR function is dedicated to the care of the quality of relationships. HR
managers have to manage a complex role of mediating between the interests of people
and employers by trying to find good mediations.
