6 Ways Pakistan’s Businesses Can Harness AI and Digital HR – Insights from Karachi’s Landmark Event

When TMC Pvt. Ltd. partnered with SAP Pakistan to host Digital HR, AI-Driven Experience in Karachi, the message was clear: Digital HR is no longer optional — it’s the foundation of a competitive, resilient Pakistan.

1. Treat Digital HR as an Economic Driver

Timed to coincide with Pakistan’s Independence Day, the event framed HR innovation as a pillar of national growth. By putting people strategy at the forefront, companies can strengthen the country’s position in the global knowledge economy.

2. Close the Digital Gap

With only 34% of organizations in Pakistan having fully integrated digital HR systems, the remaining majority risk falling behind. SAP SuccessFactors HCM offers a path to build agile, skill-based teams capable of rapid adaptation.

3. Let AI Power, Not Replace, Human Experience

Abdul Haseeb, CEO of TMC Pvt. Ltd., put it simply:

“AI is the enabler; human experience is the compass.”
Adopting AI should enhance how employees are recruited, trained, and retained — not reduce people to data points.

4. Focus on Skills Over Roles

Shifting from fixed job descriptions to skills-based talent management allows companies to respond quickly to new market demands.

5. Invest in Upskilling

Speakers from Engro Corporation, Tapal Tea, Pakistan Cables, and Lucky Core emphasized the urgent need for continuous learning programs, particularly in digital literacy and data analytics.

6. Transition from Administrative to Strategic HR

Data-driven decision-making transforms HR from a compliance function into a business growth partner, driving innovation and retention.

Your Next Step

For Pakistani businesses, embracing AI-powered HR is both a competitive move and a national responsibility — a way to strengthen the economy, future-proof the workforce, and attract global investment.
