RPA Will Create a More Human-centric HR Profession and Workplace
“There is tremendous automation opportunity in the underlying aspects of running an HR function, but the real opportunity this creates is elevating the people in the HR team to spend more time with people in the company, driving talent development, and creating a better employee experience.”

The world is in the middle of a major revolution in the way that work is done, much like it experienced transitions from the Agricultural Age to the Industrial Age. Unlike previous labor shifts, the technologies driving this latest one are now digital. Technologies like robotic process automation (RPA) are for organizations and their workers. They take over the mundane and repetitive work normally
performed by people, freeing up humans to focus on more strategic, value-added activities. In this time of rapid change, maximizing humans’ potential to focus on important matters is critical for organizational competitiveness and survival. The shift is a game changer for workers in general, and it fundamentally impacts the talent management and human resources (HR) functions. 1 As a driver for recruiting and retaining the modern workforce. HR professionals can take advantage of emerging new technologies to drive their organization to develop a competitive edge in the digital age. These new technologies should
increase HR’s capability to focus more on the experience of their candidates and employees and to make the workplace itself more human-centric.
