Through a meticulously crafted framework, the paper explores the resultant digitalized human capital and introduces smart, data - driven workforce management strategies while also revealing the potent influence of these integrations across various HR practices, including recruitment, employee engagement, performance management, and learning and development. The repercussions of Industry 4.0 on production systems, offering a foundation to explore its cascading impacts on HR practices and policies [2].
