Abstract

The war in Ukraine has led to changes in all areas of business and created new challenges for the HR management system, properly and timely implemented improvements to the HR management system can help a company identify existing problems, improve team spirit, add or restore motivation to employees, train staff to be more flexible, obtain necessary retraining, adapt to new working conditions after relocation, and generally become more resistant to challenges in an uncertain environment. The purpose of the article is to study the problems of enterprise HR management systems and to substantiate possible improvements to increase their efficiency in the context of the war in Ukraine. The article analyses the most significant structural changes in the economy and enterprise operation that occurred in the country due to the war and their impact on HR management. The main changes include: staff reductions in most companies, wage cuts while increasing the workload per employee, and the need to relocate and change the scope of business. The main challenges that need to be addressed to improve HR management systems are identified: significant stress levels among employees due to various factors (lack of sense of security, possibility of being fired, information warfare, worries about relatives, etc.), the need to prepare employees for a change in their field of work, relocation, a significant increase in the workload on the onboarding system for new employees, work-life balance disruption, and psychological problems faced by the vast majority of employees. The article emphasizes the need to implement improvements gradually, given the limited budgets of enterprises. The study allowed us to identify possible ways to improve the functioning of HR management systems in times of war by implementing a number of solutions in a comprehensive strategy, including: developing employee well-being and mental health programs, conducting team-building and searching for leaders among employees, improving the system of information transfer and employee education, creating a new sense of purpose for employees.
