Digital Transformation is a powerful tool for accelerating business and enhancing people outcomes. Organizations who embrace digital-first strategies are better able to shape the modern workplace, activate people and boost their engagement and productivity, and facilitate experiences that drive the right business outcomes. For HR itself, digital transformation necessarily shapes a more functional, data-driven, and agile HR organization capable of supporting business strategy and workforce needs.
