eng	The HR Management Changes Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic in Chemical Industry	A new viral disease called COVID-19, caused by coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, appeared in China at the end of 2019. The virus quickly spread round the world. In March 2020, the World Health Organization announced a pandemic. Therefore, the Czech Republic started introducing anti-epidemic preventive measures. The impacts of the measures had a nation-wide character and affected the society, particularly entrepreneurial entities. Companies were forced to reduce or interrupt their activities. A lot of companies introduced alternative work methods to reduce interpersonal contact. Working from home started to prevail where the situation allowed it. As the time passed, the pandemic started to have different economic impacts on different branches of the economy. They were mostly considered negative, but the measures also brought some positive impacts, for example, faster digitalization of the labour market. The aim of this paper is to map the situation in the period of COVID-19 pandemic in the area of human resources in the Czech Republic, focusing on the chemical industry. The paper includes the outcomes of a research performed through electronic questioning at seven chemical companies. The research is focused on changes in the corporate HR management caused by the impacts of the coronavirus crisis.	HR management; labour market; COVID-19; pandemie
