Abstract: Abstract Human resource management includes areas such as recruitment, selection, training and development, performance evaluation, satisfaction and work environment, administration, and salary settlement. In Argentina, in recent years, it has become mandatory to implement different strategies to achieve the innovation required to adapt to new times. Among these transformations appears the digitization of documents, the need to have digital files, and the use of computer programs. However, a large proportion of workers lack basic digital skills. The Argentine social structure has been mainly characterized by high levels of social inequality and structural poverty and the pandemic accelerated transformation processes in companies and has placed a greater emphasis on the future of work. In this context, areas such as human resources play a fundamental role in generating connections between technology, employees, and the organization while seeking to guarantee the well-being of human capital. Also, the importance of evaluating competencies, training, and digitalization is highlighted, as the main focus of companies is to acquire and retain new personnel. A current review of the literature on the management of human resources in Argentina is presented. We also analyze prominent consultants’ data that highlights the challenges and possible scenarios confronting organizations in Argentina, especially during this current COVID-19 pandemic.
