Abstract

In the era of the digital economy, where business is dynamic, organizations have increasingly embraced digital transformation, especially during the recent COVID-19 pandemic situation, causing organizations to quickly adapt to increase operational efficiency, innovation, and business competitiveness. Therefore, many organizations are trying to improve and transform their work processes into full digitalization. It is a combination of personnel, technology, and organizational agility. Human resource development, which was originally responsible for nurturing the skills of employees, promoting the learning of the organization and adjusting strategies and personnel accordingly, is also being driven by digital technology. Digital transformation of human resource development plays an important role in adopting technological transformation in cognitive load management, learning, and developing engagement. Organizational culture of employees is a challenge to drive the organization to benefit from the use of digital to help in human resource development. Considering the efficiency and effectiveness obtained from the development of the process, new ways of working will help develop personnel's work skills to be higher in the future.


The strategic and holistic approach to the digital transformation of organizational human resource development emphasizes the importance of data-driven to decision making. An adaptive learning platform makes human resource practices streamlined by synthesizing insights based on trends in the digital economy to understand the context of the human resource development work plan for the organization. One benefit from the power of digital tools is nurturing the organization's most valuable resource, which is its personnel. Consequently, the digital transformation of human resource development helps organizations develop high-quality and competent personnel, providing an advantage over business competitors, especially in the changing situation caused by innovation and new technology.
