Abstract
Objective: The purpose of the structured abstract is to assess the health policies, workplace modifications, and pandemic readiness of Hungarian defense companies prior to, during, and followingCOVID-19.
Methods: Organizational reactions to COVID-19 were gathered through a cross-sectional survey of 564 workers. Descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation were among the analyses.
Results: During COVID-19, health behaviors greatly improved; however, after the epidemic, they decreased. Measures of reaction and readiness soared before the epidemic and subsequently gradually decreased. Workplace adjustments stayed largely the same.
Conclusion: Although the COVID-19 pandemic led to short-term gains in workplace health procedures, long-term readiness and response systems deteriorated after the outbreak. For military sector workplaces to remain resilient over the long term, institutional commitment and ongoing assessment are essential.
