The world around us is rapidly moving toward digital progression and we are now at a point in time where digital technology is at its peak. The rapid progress of digital technology has also resulted in the amalgamation of HR with technology, which has opened new avenues for success.
To many of us, digital HR seems like a fascinating new road, but we aren’t yet familiar with the terms in this revolution and their definitions. In this article, we take a look at some of the terms used in digital HR processes and why all professionals need to know them in the rapidly changing world of today.
Digital HR
Let us start off with the term we have mentioned in the title: digital HR. Digital HR is the optimization and automation of HR tasks to make the department even more efficient and progressive than it currently is.
Under the guidance of digital HR, all HR processes cannot only be digitized, but they can also be automated. Think of all the recruitment applications that allow candidates to assess their skills level through the use of video introductions and other games and measures.
SMAC
SMAC is the acronym given to all tools that enable the move toward digital HR. SMAC stands for social, mobile, analytics and the cloud. Every potential employee and candidate today has a smartphone. Employers can use the data available to them to make predictions about the additions they will offer to the workforce. Information is increasingly stored in the cloud and HR teams sit right at the center when it comes to compliance of these measures.
Digital Transformation
Another term that is significantly thrown around is digital transformation. The digital HR transformation is the process that describes the transformation of HR teams from what they’re currently doing toward a more digital approach.
Onboarding applications and the revolution in them could be a good example of digital transformation. Onboarding applications have gone through a transformation which can be accredited to the digital world.
Digital Workforce
The still ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the recent surge in tech advancements have allowed us to work digitally and maintain a digital workforce completely separately. Organizations can form remote teams to work on different projects and maintain coalition across the board.
Staff is increasingly on-demand and flexible today, which allows businesses to benefit from the gig economy and maintain a digital workforce.
