In the highly complex world of human resource management (HRM), organizations need to maintain both an inward and an outward approach in times of crisis. To adequately manage human resources, it is necessary to consider the environment and the literature on turnaround strategy. This study combines the literature on both turnaround and HRM to focus on problem antecedents/causes and their impact on companies. A case study of an airline was conducted, enriched with a rhetorical signal analysis of managerial communications and stakeholder responses. The objective was to explore the company’s turnaround strategies, human resource strategies, and institutional pressures during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was found that to overcome the crisis, it is necessary to recognize antecedents of decline, turnaround strategies, human resource (HR) strategies and practices, institutional pressures on HRM, the emotional tone and temporal focus of managerial communications as well as stakeholder responses.

Este trabajo ofrece una descripción de las nuevas formas de trabajo, haciendo hincapié en las ventajas y desventajas que implican tanto para empleados como empleadores. Desde la perspectiva de los recursos humanos, la aparición de estos nuevos modelos de trabajo y su convivencia con formas más tradicionales de empleo plantean retos para los que la gestión más tradicional de funciones clásicas, como serían la planificación, la evaluación del rendimiento, o la gestión de las carreras profesionales, pueden no ser suficientes. Siendo evidentes las ventajas que aportan estas nuevas formas de trabajo, e inevitable su expansión, solo queda minimizar algunos riesgos implícitos tanto para empleador como para los empleados.
