What HR professionals need to pay attention to

One thing is certain: the progressive use of technologies such as AI, machine learning and blockchain in the course of digitalization will automate many routine tasks in everyday work.

This will impact the skills that companies will need to focus on in their future workforce. The development of strong social skills and active learning will have a higher value than before.

Digital data analytics will support talent management in finding the right applicants and identifying the right position for them. Once applicants have been found, companies must be able to create future-proof prospects for applicants.

Particularly due to the shortage of skilled workers, it is essential to position oneself as an attractive employer. This also includes offering employees flexible working hours, for example through the possibility of a home office.

This also helps achieve a work-life balance, which has been proven to make employees more productive. Nevertheless, to ensure that teamwork does not fall by the wayside, it is important to create a solid framework that enables both collaboration and flexibility.
