Аннотация
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented the vast majority of companies with many difficulties in remaining efficient and profitable, especially whilst keeping their Staff employed. In this article, we focus on the internal aspects of CSR – corporate social responsibility directed toward employees – and show that actions taken in this area at the Dialog Semiconductor company have significantly contributed to providing a sustainable workplace during the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the theoretical fundamentals of the concept, this article illustrates the case study containing the activities taken and employee feedback. The results show that the company has successfully managed to maintain sustainable workplaces through actions coherent with the recommendations on HR (Human Resources) management in COVID-19 pandemic.
