Human Resources has transitioned from being an administrative function to a more strategic role in modern human capital management. HR professionals are now expected to lead organizations forward in challenging times by contributing to talent development, recruitment investing, and managing skills demands. The Asia Pacific region has seen a significant shift in the top skills necessary for modern HR, according to a report by BPP. With the advent of digitalization and technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, virtual/augmented reality, blockchain, and the metaverse, HR professionals must master power skills, including future readiness and organization capability analysis, leadership, people analytics, training facilitation and development, and digital adaptation. These skills can help companies succeed and remain competitive in today’s working environment. They can also help HR professionals streamline large datasets for easier use, identify the common causes of attrition, absenteeism, or overtime work, and empower leaders to make decisions based on data. HR professionals should upskill and continuously innovate their practices to steer company growth and take advantage of the trend of digital pivots in different industries.
