Abstract

The human resource department is vital to the long-term success of an organization. It is responsible for very important issues such as employing suitable personnel for their positions within the company, providing these personnel with the necessary training and performance management. In cases where the human resource department does not work effectively, many different departments within the company will be affected by this negativity. This mentioned issue will cause the financial performance of the company to be adversely affected. To increase their performance, the human resource management department should also follow up-to-date practices. Digitization is also a prominent issue in this process. Thanks to the developing technology, the realization of all transactions in the computer environment has also affected human resource activities. In other words, human resource departments can also perform many activities in digital environment. Critical issues such as interviews with the personnel, training, and evaluation of the performance of the personnel can be carried out in the digital environment. This will contribute to the increase in the performance of human resource departments. On the other hand, to manage this process effectively, up-to-date technology investment should be made for the human resource departments, and qualified personnel should be employed in this department. Otherwise, companies that adhere to traditional human resource practices will not be able to compete with others in the long run.
