Abstract

Automation plays a constant role in the formation of the modern-day workplace. In the human resources (HR) area, technology is to be integrated in a manner that keeps its human dimension intact. Though automating aids in the streamlining of processes, will assist with decision making, and be an operationally efficient measure, it equally raises all sorts of questions regarding employee engagement, job losses, and ethical issues. This paper will therefore focus on strategies that allow for the balancing of automation with a human-centered HR strategy, one in which employees are kept engaged, have a sense of belonging, and are motivated in the increasingly digital world of work. Discussions will lead to machine learning applications in HR while also addressing moral questions regarding AI-based decision-making and the well-being of the employee. Next, we will discuss how organizations can make AI work for them in recruitment, talent management, and employee development while maintaining that well-deserved humane touch that characterizes well-functioning HR. Thus, discussing these challenges and avenues would set the groundwork for organizations to responsibly use automation and build a culture placing people over machinery efficiency.
