Webinar: Digital Transformation Can't Succeed Without People - and HR

Webinar Description:

Digital transformation is all around us, affecting not only how work gets done but the nature of work itself.   The role of today’s HR teams is changing dramatically as organizations move toward a fully-digital workplace. Come learn how HR leads transitions to digital and how successful HR teams support digital transformation. We will discuss what digital transformation means for an organization’s people; why HR is at the heart of any digital transformation, and how the right technology can support and power HR’s success.   In this webcast you will learn how today’s human resources (HR) professionals view and facilitate workforce transformation.   Recent research by Sumtotal shows that there are both challenges and opportunities for HR in general and the Learning and Development (L&D) department in particular.   Join Brent Colescott, Sr. Director, Business Strategy & Transformation at Sumtotal, as he discusses the results from the survey and how they may apply to your organization.
