Digital transformation and development of human resources management

Abstract

The relationship between the new methods of HRM following the integration of digitalization within companies following the increased use of Information and Communication Technologies. It is therefore essential to think about evaluating the influence exerted by this digital transformation on the reform of the Human Resources function. Adapting with digital transformation gives companies the advantage of staying aligned with the changing external environment. This reality is even more present for the Human Resources function, which seeks to become a strategic partner recognized by the organization (Troshani et al., 2011). In this context, the implementation of a Human Resources Information System (HRIS) by the general management, strategic actor of the company, constitutes an important step towards an effective and efficient management of human resources (Hussain et al.., 2007). This is where the importance of this subject stems from, since companies must imperatively commit to this reform, which tends to provide them with a set of advantages in terms of management and organization, but it would be essential to first engage in the implementation of this new process. The objective of this research work is to traditionally analyze the influence that digitization tends to have through the establishment of the HRIS on the evolution of the Human Resource Function and thus assess the consequences of digitization on the HR function. On the organizational side but also in relation to the advantages, it could provide to companies in terms of improving the productivity of their HR.
