Abstract

Human resources have proven to be a determining factor in the implementation of Industry 4.0. This is because the digital transformation of society critically depends on mental attitudes, behavioral patterns, motivational attitudes, the specifics of different generations, and the qualification and competence of people. In light of this, research shows the mutual influence of Industry 4.0 and human resource development. It has been proven that demographic trends, as well as technological trends in conjunction with trends in the transformation of the labor market under the influence of digitalization, have a significant impact on the search for approaches and methods of human resource development adequate for new conditions. This paper substantiates the importance of taking into account the differentiation of generations to create a new digital reality and adapt to it. Based on the identification of key factors of human resource development, the study identifies methods and development techniques of human resources in the context of Industry 4.0 at the organizational level.
