Requirements for Personnel in Preparation for Digital Business Transformation

Abstract

The article provides an analysis of the labour market in the context of digital transformation. The changes in the labour market conditions in the digital economy and the requirements for personnel in the context of digital business transformation are analysed. Digital transformation is fuelling increased competition in the labour market and job losses for most employees. The article also discusses the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary for personnel in the digital economy. The digitalization of the economy is gradually gaining momentum all over the world. In the Russian Federation, government agencies are directing their efforts to support innovation, transform state and municipal governance and build a digital government. Development and training personnel for the digital economy should become the foundation for digital transformation in any area. The digital transformation of a business entails changes in the model of work, the operations carried out, approaches to the organization of work, and even the strategy of the state and municipal government or business. For an effective transition, it is necessary to prepare all participants in the process for these changes: from line employees to managers.
