DEVELOPING COMPETENCIES TO INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY OF EMPLOYEES IN MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY ORGANIZATIONS IN THE DIGITAL ERA

Abstract

Developing employee competency in manufacturing organizations is crucial for enhancing work efficiency and competitiveness in the digital age, especially with the adoption of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), Robotics and Automation systems in production processes. Developing employee competency not only increases work efficiency but also enables employees to adapt to changes and create new innovations for the organization. Essential competencies for future employees include digital skills, analytical thinking skills, communication and teamwork skills, and safety and health skills. In addition, soft skills such as creativity, resilience, and flexibility are equally important, especially in jobs that require creativity and human interaction, which technology cannot fully replace. Therefore, organizations must prioritize developing personnel competence by organizing training and development, fostering an organizational culture that promotes continuous learning, and creating a good working environment. Developing personnel competence is key to enabling organizations to compete and grow sustainably in the digital economy.
