As COVID-19 develops and renders tensions salient in novel ways, the pandemic reveals the persistent, contradictory, and interrelated nature of both the pursuit of employee well-being (health) and organizational performance (profit), which while always present has never quite been so obvious. In this article, we present seven short essays that focus on various aspects of the lived experience during the pandemic crisis through a paradox theoretical lens, providing new insights on the pandemic while also using the pandemic experience to push the boundaries of paradox theory. The COVID-19 pandemic presents opportunities for researching paradox in human resource management (HRM) ([7]; [42], [43]) and highlighting the contradictory, interdependent and persistent nature of tensions faced by employees.
