Globally, disruptive technology is redefining workplace personnel, displacing poorly skilled employees and replacing them with digital employees with significant implications for skills gap and talent eco-system. Organisations that decline to change will lose not only competitive advantage but become irrelevant and an unattractive place for digitally inclined employees to make careers. Accordingly, human resource management practice in Nigeria must change its existing model to address the emerging issues of talent management, career paths, reskilling, the composition of workplace employees, ergonomics and the human side of enterprise.
