In this paper we will talk about business crisis and crisis management. It is defined as a set of functions or processes that have as their primary goal to study, identify and anticipate some possible crisis situations. On the other hand, there is a business crisis that describes the situation in a company or organization, and this situation is caused by the action of adverse events. Adverse events are the ones that cause problems in the business itself. We can see them through a reduction in revenue, also through losses, a reduction in the volume of business and also through a reduction in liquidity. In the above processes, it is concluded that employees are actually the most sensitive component of the company, especially when there is a business crisis. Every person has a kind of crisis that causes fear, including the business crisis. There is a fear of losing a job which causes panic and stress. But business crises do not have to be like that, they can be alleviated. This comes about by the reaction of the company. The causes of the crisis of individual companies have a great impact on employees. Such causes are manifested through delays or even non-payment of wages. There is also an unfair reward system, as well as a bad working atmosphere and inadequate working conditions. Therefore, the basic subject of research is to define the relationship between the business crisis, and what impact it has on employees. The research is based on the example of the company RTL Hrvatska.
