Experts on Digital HR: Adapt or die
Experts say that companies’ ability to adapt to digital now, will determine success or death. Also, they even compare it with Darwin’s theory of evolution: if your business doesn’t adapt, it will die.
Obviously, your employees are more digital and connected, even more now.
Technology has changed our lives, so why shouldn’t the workplace follow? In fact, employees working in digitally improved workplaces are more productive and motivated.
One expert who emphasizes adaption to digital is Brian Solis. Here are his thoughts:
”Digital transformation is the most important movement facing companies today. It is forcing businesses to look beyond the world as they know it. Observe how things are changing on the outside, to change, transform philosophies, models, and systems on the inside.”
HR and learning expert Josh Bersin compares the COVID-19 pandemic to a huge business transformation. This is where the focus on learning and development comes in.
As a result, learning now returns to the center of HR, and there is more focus on workforce development. He even says that we might soon see the first TikTok for learning.
“I’m absolutely thrilled to report that the L&D market is as healthy as I’ve ever seen it. […] companies are throwing money at workforce development.”
