Abstract

The Problem. The Covid-19 pandemic brought unprecedented crisis to a world already undergoing digital transformation. Millions of people began working virtually to prevent the spread of disease and to maintain business continuity, suddenly participating in virtual human resource development (VHRD) and alternative work strategies that helped organizations adapt to current challenges and prepare for future disruption. The purpose of this article is to analyze VHRD’s role in the crisis and the transition to a new era marked by further disruption and change. The Recommendation. This article provides a primer for understanding the environmental perspective of VHRD, analyzes reskilling and upskilling trends during the pandemic and for early stages of the fourth industrial revolution, and addresses learning, adaptation, cultural, workplace, and economic implications. We argue that many of the changes to the workplace were already underway, but the pandemic has accelerated transformation. For this reason, organizations must anticipate more digital transformation, strategize VHRD, and leverage learning assets to prepare for the future. The Stakeholders. This article is of interest to those helping their organizations to not only recover from crisis, but to thrive in a new era of work that is being fundamentally transformed by technology. The audience includes organizational leaders, HRD professionals, workers, scholars, as well as school personnel seeking to prepare learners for future career conditions.

虚拟人力资源开发在危机和后Covid-19职业生活中的作用:加速数字化转型技能
问题。新冠肺炎大流行给已经在经历数字化转型的世界带来了前所未有的危机。数百万人开始虚拟工作,以防止疾病传播并保持业务连续性,突然参与虚拟人力资源开发(VHRD)和替代工作战略,帮助组织适应当前的挑战,为未来的混乱做好准备。本文的目的是分析VHRD在危机中的作用,以及向一个以进一步破坏和变化为标志的新时代的过渡。建议。这篇文章为理解VHRD的环境视角提供了一本入门读物,分析了疫情期间和第四次工业革命早期阶段的再培训和技能提升趋势,并讨论了学习、适应、文化、工作场所和经济影响。我们认为,工作场所的许多变化已经在进行中,但疫情加速了转型。因此,组织必须预测更多的数字化转型,制定VHRD战略,并利用学习资产为未来做好准备。利益相关者。这篇文章对那些帮助他们的组织不仅从危机中恢复,而且在技术正在从根本上改变的新时代蓬勃发展的人很感兴趣。听众包括组织领导、人力资源开发专业人员、工作人员、学者,以及寻求为学习者未来的职业条件做好准备的学校人员。
