Peculiarities of personnel management under martial law

Abstract

This section explores the peculiarities of personnel management in organizations operating under martial law, emphasizing the shift in priorities toward employee safety, stability, and motivation amid economic and political instability. Drawing on experiences from Ukraine and Israel, it highlights adaptive strategies such as remote work implementation, enhanced social support programs, professional development opportunities, and flexible HR systems to maintain productivity and staff retention. The analysis underscores that wartime conditions, while posing significant challenges like restricted decision-making and increased stress, also create opportunities for optimizing human resource management and building more resilient organizational structures. Overall, effective personnel management under martial law requires flexibility, empathy, and innovative approaches to ensure both survival and long-term competitiveness.
