Abstract

Contemporarily, the digital improvements as well as transitions have been proposed in various aspects and fields. Among various fields that are undergoing the digital transition, the digital improvement in human resource management is a hot topic, especially in some poor area (e.g., Africa). In this study, the fundamental problems in the human resource management fields of some global enterprises in Africa have been mentioned and discussed. To be specific, this study attempted to take the company BGI as an example to illustrate that the problems could be solved by digital improvement. With this in mind, some practical actions implemented by BGI have been demonstrated and analyzed. According to the analysis, some beneficial references from BGI could be used by other companies in human resource management, which want to develop their Africa business following the same routine. Overall, these results offer a guideline for further exploration of digital improvement for human resource management.
