The main goal of this paper was to explain the concept of human resources during crisis situations. We consider human potential as the foundation of every company, and that is why we pay special attention to it. Every company should have quality and capable employees who will make the business and the company as successful as possible. Management in crisis situations implies a discipline that deals with risks and their avoidance. Through the chapters in the paper, we will go through the very management of the crisis situation, as well as its characteristics, phases, and activities. I will also emphasize the management of crisis situations in the Republic of Croatia, we will also touch on the pandemic itself, which occurred in Croatia as well as in the whole world, which is Covid-19. Management in crisis situations implies a discipline that deals with risks and their avoidance. This discipline includes preparing for disasters before they occur. A crisis situation represents an event that is negative, very significant and can threaten the survival of an organizational group or society. Particularly important situations in state development include four phases: mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. The crisis management system has not been developed in the Republic of Croatia. Individual solutions work within the area of jurisdiction, but there is no unified system at the state level. The Covid-19 pandemic proved that we really live in a world that is full of uncertainty, complexity, variability and ambiguity, while organizations faced changes in society, the environment, legal regulations and business that needed to be effectively adapted if they wanted to preserve their success and advantage.
