In recent years, as CEO of Needed Education, I have witnessed the way we do business and work have dramatically evolved, especially in the field of Human Resources.
in our first HR Digital Evolution Report In which executives and directors of leading companies participated, we discovered that the Human Resources department plays an extremely critical role in the success or failure of a company’s digital transformation.
The role of Human Resources in digital transformation
There are five key ways that HR acts as an enabler and catalyst for digital transformation:
- Identification and recruitment of digital talent: identifies and recruits digital talent with essential skills to support the digital transformation of the company.
- Training and development of digital skills: Defines the digital skills needed for digital transformation and provides training and development programs for employees.
- Promoting an agile digital culture: Fosters a digital culture in the company by promoting practices and values that support the adoption of digital technologies and innovation in an agile manner for constant and rapid evolution.
- Implementation of HR technologies focused on the employee experience: implements technologies that automate and optimize area processes, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of HR operations and the relationship with collaborators.
- Monitoring and evaluation of the impact through metrics: monitors and evaluates the impact of digital transformation on culture, productivity and employee satisfaction to ensure that digital transformation is in line with company goals through clear metrics and data-driven decision-making.
This is a great responsibility for only one area of the company. They can’t just communicate the vision, they have to execute it and make sure it happens. To complete such a challenging mission requires HR leaders with a growth mindset, an understanding of the market and how it is changing, the ability to quickly adapt to change, a willingness to constantly learn, and the ability to use data to make decisions. strategic decisions.
