Purpose

The paper aims to review the latest technological developments across the globe and specify practical implications from pioneering research.

Design/methodology/approach

The briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

The review shows that the general implementation of augmented reality, virtual reality and extended reality (XR) into human resource (HR) 5.0 changes the workforce management fundamentally by improving recruitment, training and engagement. Immersive technologies allow personalized learning spaces and simulated risk, which is far more efficient in terms of skill retention and training rate than traditional ones. Also, XR platforms enhance hybrid work connections as they allow realistic virtual collaboration. Nevertheless, there are still significant obstacles, such as high prices, inaccessibility to the technology and severe privacy issues associated with the collection of biometric data. To successfully adopt, it is important to overcome these difficulties to have the human-centric innovation of HR 5.0.

Practical implications

The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
