Every quarter, we release our A-Z list of HR professionals to bring some of the leaders in the Human Resource industry to the spotlight. Last quarter (Q2:2019), we highlighted HR leaders around the world — some of them working for well-known companies like Uber and Facebook.

Like most third world regions, Latin American companies are facing global competition. In an interview regarding the state of Human Resources in Latin America, professor Marta Elvira, author of Best Human Resource Practices in Latin America, mentioned the following challenges:
- developing HR policies that properly reflect the economic deregulation of the region;
- creating alliances with educational and technological institutions for the training of personnel;
- cooperating with governmental institutions in order to deal with violent and turbulent conditions;
- increasing corporate investment in HR-related information technology, and
- developing HR practices that are more appropriate for the size and resources of small and midsize companies.
A Bright Future Lies Ahead for HR Professionals
It’s good news that companies like GOintegro are doing their part in empowering the HR industry in Latin America. We are glad to be able to do our part too. As an HR technology company, we are happy to see that Latin American companies are beginning to see the importance of HR Tech in making them globally competitive.
Digitization of the HR is redefining company-employee relationship. Disrupting innovations like HR cloud computing is forcing companies to change roles, job descriptions, and employee development strategies inside the organization.
“Providing digital tools, techniques and technologies that empower employees to craft high-performance versions of themselves is one of HR Tech’s biggest gifts to today’s organizations. Organizations who are unable to adapt their structure, methods and processes to the technological age may not survive. To help your company move beyond where it currently stands, Digital Transformation is something you simply can’t afford to ignore.” – German Dyzenchauz, CEO & Co-founder of GOintegro
