Abstract: The article discusses the role of management in the context of the digital transformation of the economy and highlights the obstacles hindering the implementation of HR Tech technologies. The advantages of automating learning processes are demonstrated, and the role of the personnel development manager in this context is examined. It is important to note that modern technologies play a vital role in effectively managing human resources, and their use is becoming an integral part of a successful business. The role of the Training and Development (T&D) manager, responsible for continuous employee training and developing their professional skills and knowledge, is described. This, in turn, contributes to the organisation’s achievement of set goals and more effective utilisation of employee potential. The manager of the digital era plans training manages the budget, selects suitable courses and programmes, evaluates employee professional development, develops tools for automating training, builds a talent pool, and regulates processes in human capital resource management. In modern society, digital literacy and competencies are gaining dominant importance, significantly impacting economic growth, professional activity, and the competitiveness of companies. The digitalisation of business processes and entire industries in the coming decades will lead to the partial replacement of human labour by machines and the release of a significant portion of the workforce, creating new challenges for businesses and countries. Employees with digital skills become efficient performers and catalysts for internal development and innovation. Two predicted scenarios of the digital future of the labour market are described. Excerpts from recent reports by reputable international economic organisations and well-known consulting agencies are provided. In this regard, the strategic role of the manager becomes crucial, as employees’ success in using digital resources to achieve the company’s business goals depends on the manager’s learning strategy.
