“…By developing a HR crisis plan, an organization ensures that it protects its human resources and hence promotes continuity of the business. The second factor is that a HR crisis plan reduces high turnover and absenteeism in the event of a crisis [6]. Crises tend to disrupt the normal activities of the organization and unless there is a solid crisis plan to guide employees on actions to take following a crisis, it is likely that they may abandon their jobs or fail to report to work as expected.…”

“…This is because the company appears as one that is not concerned about the welfare of their employees. A notable justification for HR crisis management is that it helps employees to handle emergencies better, such that losses and injuries are minimized [6]. This makes it easier for the organization to recover from the crisis as compared to where there is no crisis management plan.…”
Section: Relevance Of Hr Crisis Managementmentioning
The role of HR in the modern-day corporate world has changed significantly to accommodate various developments and needs in the workplace. HR involvement in crisis management is one such development, and this has led to the HR taking an active role in planning and training for crisis management. Contemporary studies have indicated that organizations that incorporate employee welfare into the crisis management plan are more likely to be successful compared to those that are only concerned about protecting systems, processes, infrastructure and public relations as was traditionally evident. The HR is considered a vital partner in crisis management planning due to their understanding employee needs and their role in organizational survival. As one of the major roles of HR, training is considered paramount when it comes to crisis management. The role of HR is to ensure that employees are well informed about potential crises that may affect the organization and that they are aware of their role in dealing with the crisis. The HR provides skills and knowledge necessary in ensuring that employees can contribute to the organization's sustainability by participating in the crisis management process. This chapter explores the HR's role in planning and training for crisis management.

“…Senge and Käufer () add that ‘they may serve as mentors, internal consultants, and “thinking partners”, helping line managers deal with the host of day‐to‐day practical issues that otherwise thwart change’. Vardarlier (, 400) argues that:the success of an organisation mostly depends on the skills and expertise of the employees and their continuous professional training. The HR department should play both a strategic and support role throughout the EM process from disaster mitigation, planning processes to the deployment of resources in the event of a disaster.…”
Section: The Relationship Between Hrm and Emmentioning
This study examines the relationship between human resource management (HRM) and emergency management (EM) within two local governments. We examine the processes and associated challenges of HRM supporting EM practitioners to develop the skills to engage with the local community. Social exchange theory provides the theoretical foundation to explore and report the qualitative data. Research findings indicate that the relationship between HRM and EM is fragmented, and there is no comprehensive understanding among HRM and EM practitioners of the entire EM process. We suggest that enhancing collaboration between HRM and EM professionals within local governments may be achieved through greater formal and informal network management. HRM professionals must invest in developing managerial practices that engage key EM stakeholders, and mobilise their knowledge and resources to frame and co‐create solutions for EM challenges.
“…The arrangements favor cooperation, solidarity and reciprocity, with the presence of local institutions to understand and sustain the systems. Some conditions are rele-vant to the development of arrangements such as the significant number of firms and agents, specialization in a specific productive activity, as well as the existence of skilled local labor and correlated activities [7,9,10].…”
The objective of this study was to compare the factors related to the development stage and the level of competitiveness of the furniture cluster located in the northwestern region of Paraná / Brazil. For the development of the research, descriptive approaches with quantitative and qualitative procedures were used. As a data collection instrument, a cross-sectional survey was applied with 20 companies in the sector. The data were interpreted from a statistical analysis using the average of the relative frequencies. The results indicated that the competitiveness index is unfavorable and the cluster is in initial stage, pointing out fragility, mainly in the item government policies.
