Description of HUMAN-IT
The HUMAN-IT initiative addresses the profound transformations reshaping the governance of human capital in response to exponential digital technologies and complex societal challenges. As these disruptions redefine the workplace, employee experience, and global job market, HUMAN-IT seeks to develop a forward-looking, interdisciplinary approach to Human Resource Management (HRM). The Action aims to contribute to EU employment and inclusion policies and support broader societal progress aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 8 and 9).
Funded by the European Union
