Both in Mexico and in the world, the COVID-19 pandemic has considerably changed the development of the industry and, with it, the management of human capital. Guanajuato is no exception and in this paper the strategies that human capital executives in companies in this state have applied to implement work at home and change the worker's imagination are presented. Our objective is to know the main effects of the contingency due to COVID-19 on the management of human capital in companies in Guanajuato, Mexico. The research is qualitative with a descriptive scope and non-experimental design. Semi-structured interviews were applied to executives of human capital in the State of Guanajuato from the private sector. Uncertainty is a recurring feeling in executives of human capital. This sentiment began with the announcement of the containment measures because several companies were not prepared for the health crisis. Despite the uncertainty, a climate of optimism remains in the application of strategies and the COVID-19 pandemic is seen as an opportunity for evolution. This work shows the strategies that those in charge of human capital management in several companies in Guanajuato implemented to deal with COVID-19 and its consequences during the contingency.
