Abstract
Industry 5.0, often known as the Fifth Industrial Revolution, is changing the workplace around the world. Driven by cutting-edge technologies like big data, robotics, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence (AI), this era requires a workforce that is extremely talented, flexible, and nimble. Under these circumstances, reskilling and upskilling have become essential tactics for businesses to maintain their competitiveness while enabling their staff to flourish in a changing workplace.Industry 5.0 marks a transformative phase in industrial development, emphasizing the collaboration between humans and advanced technologies. As industries transition into this era, the role of human resources (HR) in facilitating reskilling and upskilling becomes critical. This review article explores the concepts of Industry 5.0, the changing nature of work, and the strategies HR can adopt to prepare the workforce for this transition.
