Stages of Digital HR transformation
Digital HR transformation refers to the process of changing traditional HR processes to become technology-driven, automated, and focus more on data. It is not only focused on changing HR practices but also involves the entire organization as a whole. A change this big doesn’t happen overnight. An organization cannot go from being barely digital to fully digital in a blink of an eye. A transformation like this requires time and thus there are six stages of how a digital HR transformation happens in an organization.
- Business as Usual
In the first stage, the businesses follow a method that is already tried and tested and in no mindset to take risks. They have a rigid mindset. But in digital transformation, a rigid mindset is not the solution and thus you must adopt a flexible approach. In today’s business world, they need to bring out dynamic solutions that suit business needs.
- Present and Active
This is the stage where you should take a few risks, perform experiments on what can work in your organization and what cannot. For example, using your own LMS for attendance, employee data, etc. If it turns out to be positive for the organization, you can expand your experiment throughout the organization.
- Formalized
In the third stage, doing experiments becomes a routine and you start seeing results. . You become more adventurous with your experiments and find out more about what would work the best for the organization. You start taking bolder decisions and conduct experiments with confidence.
- Strategic
As digital HR transformation also involves the organization as a whole, this is a stage where different departments share their views and ideas on what can be done and help in finding solutions to the problems as you can get different perspectives and angles. This leads to the creation of new strategic roadmaps.
- Converged
Once all the strategies are formed, we should assign a dedicated team to it as well. As digital HR is technology-based, there should be a team for programming, managing, server checks, and other technicalities to make sure that everything is running smoothly.
- Innovative and adaptive
This is the stage where the organization starts seeing the real benefit of digital HR transformation and agrees to the fact that change is the only constant and continuously be adaptive and innovative in the digital HR field. With digital HR in practice, HR processes become simple and HR can focus on other tasks and responsibilities.
