Globalny kryzys związany z pandemią COVID-19 zainspirował zarówno naukowców, jak i praktyków do badania nowych hipotez i formułowania nowych teorii dotyczących sytuacji finansowej przedsiębiorstw. Niestety, zgodnie z aktualną literaturą wnioski dotyczące dużych firm w ciągłym cyklu produkcyjnym podczas pandemii są ograniczone. Celem artykułu było zidentyfikowanie, w jaki sposób wirus COVID-19 wpłynął na zasoby ludzkie w przykładowej korporacji tego typu oraz jaka była rola systemów kontroli zarządczej w ograniczaniu negatywnego wpływu pandemii. Zmienne charakteryzujące pandemię skorelowano z kluczowymi miernikami dokonań stosowanymi w zarządzaniu zasobami ludzkimi. Metody zastosowane w tym celu to analiza korelacji i regresji liniowej dla przypadku niestabilnej statystyki bootstrapowej. Wyniki wykazały, że absencje chorobowe wiązały się bezpośrednio z późniejszymi urlopami wypoczynkowymi. Zwykle były więc pokłosiem pandemii. Zwiększa to wpływ pandemii COVID-19 na dostępność zasobów ludzkich. Wzrost absencji chorobowych zaowocował planami reorganizacji pracy. Kryzys pandemiczny podkreślił rolę systemu kontroli zarządczej w controllingu personalnym. Szybka i adekwatna informacja o absencji chorobowej oraz wprowadzone procedury bezpieczeństwa spowodowały brak istotnej korelacji między absencją chorobową a statystykami dotyczącymi zachorowań na COVID-19.

The global crisis related to the COVID-19 pandemic engaged both academics and practitioners in studying new hypotheses and formulating new theories about the corporate financial situation. Unfortunately, according to the revised literature, the conclusions about big companies within a continuous production cycle during the pandemic are limited. The purpose of the article was to identify how COVID-19 influenced the human resources in these corporations, and what was the role of management control systems in the reduction of its negative impact. The pandemic's parameters were correlated with human resources key performance indicators. The research method employed correlation and regression analysis with wild bootstrapping. The results showed that absences due to sickness were directly related to current holiday leaves, and were usually linked to the pandemic. This increases the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the availability of human resources. The increase of sickness absences resulted in the reorganization of work plans. The pandemic crisis emphasized the role of the management control system in personnel controlling. Fast and adequate information about sickness absence as well as introduced safety procedures resulted in no significant correlation between sickness absence and the COVID-19 statistics.
