What are HR’s Important New Roles in Uplifting Digital Transformation

admin by admin
December 5, 2022
in News


CIO and IT leaders are frustrated about “not having a seat at the table”
when the executive committees debate important strategic decisions.

But when I speak to CHRO, human resource leaders, learning and development
officers, and HR IT specialists, they question why they aren’t directly
involved in digital transformation strategies.

It’s a big, strategic miss when CIOs leave out HR or only request human
resources to take on administrative responsibilities and tactical
assignments.

Digital transformation leaders acknowledge it’s working with people –
customers, employees, and partners – that’s the most important and
challenging aspect of transformation. CMOs and marketing leaders are
typically involved in the transformation from a market and customer
perspective, and similarly, HR leaders should be participating from an
employee perspective.

So what are HR’s roles in digital transformation? Many! But in this post, I
will concentrate on their roles in uplifting digital transformation.

Three reasons IT leaders need HR’s partnership in digital transformation

Here’s the backdrop of why I know CIO and IT leaders need HR’s participation

  1. I want teams participating in digital transformation initiatives to feel
    safe. Their creativity and drive are inversely proportional to the stress
    from demanding stakeholders, managing too many priorities, and resolving
    the complexities in transforming business processes.
  2. I want aspiring transformation leaders – what I call Digital Trailblazers
    – to feel supported and not stressed by the target on their backs.
  3. Organizations will always be transforming because the innovations
    delivered today will require ongoing enhancements and quickly become
    tomorrow’s legacy technologies. Transformation must become a core
    organizational competency, and Digital Trailblazers in IT, HR, and other
    departments must partner on this objective.   

I speak to many digital transformation teams about the challenges of always
transforming. It’s tiring and emotionally draining. It’s not easy going from
one set of accomplishments to the next set of objectives without much time
to catch one’s breadth.

How HR leaders can uplift digital transformations

HR leaders can take on many roles in digital transformations, and I will
cover more of them in future posts. But here are several ways HR leaders can
uplift digital transformations:

  • Redefine rewards and incentives for employees leading,
    participating, and being collaborative partners on digital transformation
    initiatives.
  • Take active roles working with detractors because it takes strong
    personal skills and lots of time to change mindsets, especially when
    people’s roles and jobs change dramatically.
  • Create learning and development programs for Digital Trailblazers
    who need richer programs than skill development and generic leadership
    training. They require transformational coaching and identifying
    new areas for personal growth.
  • Cheer team successes by developing employee engagement programs
    that draw attention to transformation initiatives and objectives while
    championing their leaders and teams.  
  • Elevate the organization’s technical and data acumen by scheduling
    education sessions and sponsoring
    citizen data science
    and
    citizen development programs.

Bottom line: Digital transformation is about changing the business
model, and that helps drive a new future of work. How can HR not be
involved, helpful, and strategic in uplifting employee experiences? They can
and must, but CIO and Digital Trailblazers must give them a  seat at
the table.
