Digitization has seen an impressive evolution in recent years, felt at the level of all industries and activities. The processes managed until recently by human capital have started to be digitized, a transformation that can be perceived both as an opportunity and as a threat to the human resources involved in carrying out those activities. The current work aims to summarize the impact that digital transformation has had and still has on activities, as well as the ways in which the automation of some processes can be transformed from a threat into an opportunity, with a direct impact on increasing competitiveness and productivity, on streamlining processes, as well as reducing the incidence of human errors. Also, daily activities performed by human resources are influenced by digitalization, therefor we will focus also on threats and opportunities for people in their personal live.
