TALENT MANAGEMENT IN A DIGITAL WORLD: BUILDING WORKFORCE AGILITY THROUGH STRATEGIC HRM

1. Abstract The digital era has significantly transformed the workplace, driving organizations to adopt innovative strategies to remain competitive and sustainable. Talent management, a cornerstone of Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM), is vital for addressing the challenges posed by this transformation. With the rapid advancement of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, big data, and automation, traditional workforce dynamics have shifted dramatically, leading to new challenges like skills gaps, talent retention issues, and employee resistance to change. At the same time, these changes present opportunities to redefine work through flexible models, diversity, inclusion, and digital proficiency. This study explores how SHRM can empower organizations to redefine their talent management strategies to meet the demands of the digital age. By leveraging digital tools, promoting continuous learning, and fostering workforce agility, SHRM provides a framework to prepare organizations for the future of work. This research employs a mixed-methods approach, utilizing primary data collected through surveys and interviews with HR professionals and business leaders, as well as secondary data from industry-leading reports and organizational case studies.
