Digitalization of Human Resource Management in Russia

Abstract

This article offers a generalized perspective on the integration of digital technologies in human resource management (HRM) practices in the Russian Federation. The authors discuss variations in businesses’ resource-tied readiness and organizational readiness for digitalization of HRM, emphasize the emergence of firms that serve as “role models” to others, and highlight specific government policies that impact HRM. The study is based on an analysis of government and corporate documents, review of scholarly publications, archival sources, and media reports, and informal discussions with managers. It summarizes successful digital innovations in the selection and recruitment, training and development, and work organization, as well as in the integration of HRM into enterprise-wide information systems.
