POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS OF METAVERSE IN HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

The Metaverse, an emerging technology built on virtual-reality space, offers transformative potential for human resource management (HRM). This study examines its feasibility and application within HRM, focusing on perspectives from Generation Z employees and HR professionals. Findings highlight significant opportunities for enhancing recruitment, onboarding, training, and performance appraisal through immersive and interactive solutions. However, challenges such as cost, data privacy, health concerns, and inclusivity remain significant barriers to its adoption. Surveys reveal that while respondents are optimistic about its potential to improve collaboration and efficiency, they emphasize the need for strategic planning, robust security measures, and ethical guidelines. Future efforts should focus on addressing these challenges to unlock the Metaverse's full potential in HRM.
