Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the social responsibility of Russian business to internal stakeholders in the force majeure paradigm of the coronavirus pandemic. The article shows how the domestic business was socially responsible in preserving its enterprises and jobs, in maintaining the level of remuneration of employees. In addition, the article analyzes the level of social responsibility of business (SOB) and in a number of new areas that emerged during the pandemic, namely: responsibility for ensuring epidemiological safety in the workplace, for vaccination of employees, for the organization of remote workplaces, for the application of new managerial solutions in online working conditions, for maintaining a favorable working environment. climate change in the absence of the possibility of employees working face-to-face, etc. Noting that business as a whole has shown and is showing social responsibility to internal stakeholders during the pandemic, the author notes that in some aspects it is clearly insufficient. Thus, the efforts of business to retain highly qualified personnel, maintain the level of remuneration, to bridge the wage gap between managers and employees, to agitate employees for vaccination, etc. were insufficient.
