Due to dwindling interpersonal connect, HR companies are embracing the digital landscape through teleconferencing, webinars and podcast channels to stay digitally connected with their employees during the on-boarding process.
Companies are looking for people who demonstrate the ability to learn quickly and keep pace with the digital transformation for long term sustainability.
In order to be future ready companies need to adapt themselves with cutting edge technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning, Robotic Process Automation and reassess their workflows for identifying possible automation opportunities.
