SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Some roles performed by human resource (HR) managers are at risk of being taken over by robots in near future, a study commissioned by the Ministry of Manpower and the Institute for Human Resource Professionals (IHRP) has found.
Of the 27 HR roles that were analysed, 24 will be impacted by technology at varying degrees in the next three to five years, according to the study conducted by advisory, broking and solutions firm Willis Towers Watson released on Thursday (Dec 10).
Eight of these roles will be most severely affected and are at risk of being replaced. They are lower level positions in areas such as talent management, performance and rewards, as well as organisation development.
