“…The gravity of the situation has led the health sciences to give full attention to combating this disease, although it has also been highly demanding for other areas, including those linked to the social sciences, to reflect on the consequences (Rossoni, 2020). Thus, organizational studies and the business field are investigating the possible impacts of the sudden decline in economic activity and the change in behavioral dynamics in companies and among people (Backes et al, 2020;Nasciutti, 2020;Yazbek et al, 2020, Moura & Tomei, 2021Silva et al, 2021). The changes resulting from the crisis generated by COVID-19 have manifested themselves in all dimensions and levels, including the health, economic, political, and social systems (Nasciutti, 2020), thereby impacting the production chain, operational dynamics of human resources, employment ties, and generating a general climate of anxiety and insecurity, subjectively, and in professional, social, and family interpersonal relationships (Hassan et al, 2020).…”

“…In the labor market, unemployment in Brazil reached over 12% by the end of the first quarter of 2020 (Nasciutti, 2020). Added to this are job insecurity and instability, the growth of informal work, reduced wages, outsourcing, and fixed-term contracts (Yazbek et al, 2020). It is also a fact that in this conjuncture of measures of social distancing and isolation (WHO, 2020) and the spread of working from home (Losekann & Mourão, 2020;Rossoni, 2020), the COVID-19 crisis has been changing the ways businesses act regarding the role of technology in communication, especially as a strategy for supplying demands and optimizing administrative processes and organizational services, evidencing a significant increase in adherence and investments regarding technology (Barbosa, 2020;Castro, 2020;Cruvinel, 2020;Galindo Neto et al, 2020).…”

Objective: To investigate at which points and to what extent private healthcare institutions adapt and strategically reinvent themselves in the times of a pandemic.Methodology: This was a qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive study based on a case study carried out in a health clinic in northwestern Rio Grande do Sul State. For data collection, bibliographic research and semi-structured interviews were carried out with managers and collaborators of the researched clinic. For data analysis and interpretation, categorical content analysis was used, in addition to the typology model of Hrebiniak and Joyce (1985).Originality/Relevance: Little research on management, strategic adaptation, health, and the pandemic has been carried out in private healthcare institutions. Additionally, few studies have addressed organizational strategic adaptation models as a reinvention strategy and organizational perspectives. In this way, this article opens precedents for further academic-scientific investigations regarding this theme and object of study.Results: The results showed that the changes and strategic adaptation of the analyzed company initially occurred by the influence of the external environment and then by the company’s ability to identify opportunities and implement development and optimization actions in its routines, processes, and dynamics, expanding such opportunities to future perspectives and broader contextsTheoretical/Methodological Contributions: The study contributes to the extent that it allows us to approach the method of organizational strategic adaptation of Hrebiniak and Joyce (1985) under a different approach as a strategic and proactive tool for analysis, reinvention, and organizational perspectives in the face of complex and changing contexts such as of the pandemic. The study also brings practical contributions, especially regarding optimizing strategies and predicting perspectives for private healthcare institutions, a segment that is still little studied in the scientific arena regarding the theme of strategic adaptation in the context of the pandemic.

São tecidas neste texto algumas reflexões em torno das respostas que têm sido empreendidas pelos setores da saúde, previdência social e assistência social, que compõem a seguridade social no Brasil, tomando-se a sua centralidade, que deveria ser assumida para o enfrentamento da pandemia causada pelo SARS-Cov-2. Com essa leitura de contexto e com o pressuposto de uma ação profissional para a participação social com autonomia, partilham-se experiências de intervenção em Terapia Ocupacional Social com jovens que vivem em periferias urbanas e, certamente, pobres para o mercado/consumo, mas ricos de vida, na pandemia de Covid-19. O intuito foi produzir um cuidado que se coaduna com a proteção social e se direciona, na defesa do valor inegociável de cada vida e do seu pulsar, para a promoção de uma circulação emancipatória, questão agravada, mas anterior à pandemia e sempre presente entre esses jovens.
Population aging is a worldwide phenomenon, which is expressed in the labor market by the aging of workers. This new scenario can bring opportunities, but also challenges, especially due to the culture of ageism that is present. Objective: In this context, the present study investigated how the aging experience in the contemporary work environment is constituted. Method: The case study method was used, with a qualitative approach, and six workers over 50 years of age from a company in southern Brazil were interviewed. Results: The subjects' voices revealed that aging at work includes the challenges of managing the transformations of the human aging process, as well as to work daily in an insecure and ageist work environment. Contributions: The article shows the importance that work can have for the lives of older workers, being a source of existential meaning and purpose.
