The Changing Role of Human Resource Management in The Era of Digital Transformation

The following Draft analyses the Evolving Role of Human Resources Management in The Era of Digital Transformation and the impact it has had and continues to have on Corporate Human Capital. Digital transformation does not only represent a new perspective, but rather implies a New Approach to all Organisational Management Activities. Undoubtedly, it is not a simple process, but a real Challenge both for those who want to pioneer a change in their Company's Traditional Approach and for those who are approaching Business Management for the first time. The right way to think about Digital Transformation is to continuously adapt to a Constantly Changing Environment, where the goal is to develop not only a technical and operational foundation, but also the Foundations to respond to local and global events effectively and efficiently, to the market conditions and unpredictable and changing customer expectations. Digital Transformation is something that goes far beyond business activities. On one hand, it enables the Human Component to lead a better lifestyle, simplifying and organising work more efficiently and, above all, offering new skills and process automation. On the other hand, it inevitably implies greater Resilience to Change on the part of Human Resources, who must have the ability to perceive the importance and innovation that New Technologies can offer. Starting from the assumption that the concept of Digital Transformation does not only imply the inclusion of New Technologies in the work process, but is mainly developed through a Redesign of Processes, accompanied by a Change Management Process, which is the cornerstone for overcoming people's resistance to Change. Process redesign, the initial introduction of Automation, but also the Development of Digitally enabled Services and Products are the highlights of a New Technology Strategy.
