Abstract: Abstract Within the last decades, the idea that the competitive advantage of organizations can be driven by the accumulation of high-quality human resources has been affirmed in the scientific literature. The focus on human capital as a source of competitive advantage has led organizations to compete in the talent war and to adopt a strategic management of people mainly defined resource-based. This perspective has emphasized the role played by human resources as an intangible though valuable and potentially valuable, rare, and non-substitutable asset of the organization. Human resources are precious because they are scarce, specialized, and hold tacit knowledge. The chapter goes into detail about this perspective in light of the huge transformation brought about by the pandemic, both to the labor market and to the workforce.
