HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN THE DIGITAL AGE

ISBN-978-93-6976-620-8

Human Resource Management (HRM) is only one of the many fields that has undergone
significant change as a result of the influence that the digital age has had on the operations of
businesses. In order to achieve success in the current climate, people working in human
resources need to be able to adjust to new challenges and opportunities. The incorporation of
technology and automation into every aspect of business operations is deeply ingrained.
Because of the trend toward a digital-first workplace, the key functions of human resources,
such as recruiting, training, performance assessment, and corporate culture, are undergoing
significant changes. When I was younger, I thought of human resources as primarily an
administrative department that was in charge of things like payroll, benefits administration,
and policy enforcement. Nevertheless, with the proliferation of digital technologies like as data
analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, the field of human resources has evolved
into a profession that is driven by data and uses strategic thinking. Increasingly, human
resources teams are able to automate monotonous operations with the help of digital platforms.
This enables them to spend more time to strategic initiatives like as leadership development,
employee engagement, and talent acquisition. The duty of guaranteeing the health and
happiness of their workers, regardless of where they are physically located, is an additional one
that falls on the shoulders of human resource managers. This role is becoming more crucial in
this day and age of remote work and global teams. As a consequence of the digital revolution,
human resources (HR) is confronted with a number of new challenges, including the
management of employee expectations in a workforce that is proficient in technology, the
maintenance of data security, and the navigation of the ethical implications of using artificial
intelligence (AI) for decision-making in recruitment and employee evaluation. Professionals
working in human resources need to be able to think quickly, be familiar with technology, and
be keen to accept new technologies in order to stay up with the competition.
