To ensure we are successful.

Change is never easy and technology can make it even more challenging. Resistance is natural and digital transformation often brings hurdles like skill gaps, steep learningcurves and cultural pushbacks.

By actively and proactively involving our employees. You and I, as HR professionals, can ease resistance and encourage buy-in for a transformation. Maybe even reduce some resistance.

Here is how YPPMC is addressing resistant to technology change.

Through our RESPEN framework, we are prioritizing and organizing efficiency. While we are keeping the human element at the core.

Our approach is, to enhance the employee experience and small stages. For example, when implementing an HRIS we should think about introducing one module at a time. This phase approach showcases improvements while preventing a personalized human centric workplaceexperience.

Gradually implement digital learning and development programs. If we introduce tailored learning initiatives, which is fostering continuous growth, our employees may feel more empowered to adapt to technology advancement with more confidence.

At Y PPMC, we are preparing your workforce for change and HR technology and it is critical that you and I, as HR professionals and our teams adapt to the evolving landscape to stay ahead.

This week’s #AskHR discussion tackles a common question: How can HR be seen as an ally rather than an enemy in the workplace? Many employees hesitate to engage with HR, fearing they’ll be unheard or dismissed. It’s a common misconception that HR exists solely to protect the business and enforce rules—but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
While compliance is a key part of our role, our broader purpose is to support people, shape workplace culture, and foster a safe, fair environment. HR may not have all the answers, but we are here to guide solutions, bridge gaps, and ensure fairness. Sometimes, maintaining balance requires a neutral voice—and that voice is HR.
That being said, our effectiveness depends on company culture, policies, and the individuals representing HR.
How Can You Partner with HR?
- Approach HR as a collaborator, not an obstacle.
- Bring ideas and solutions, not just problems.
- Keep an open mind and respect the balance HR maintains.
- Leverage HR for career growth and workplace success.
HR is not your enemy—I AM NOT THE ENEMY!

We may not be your best friends, but we are not your adversary. We are your HR partner. We are your ally and your resource at work.
