| description | This paper presents a critical analysis of the Digital Transformation’s (DT) effects on employability within organizations in Chile, providing an action reference framework for competitiveness in the field. To achieve this, a qualitative approach to the opinions of a convenience sample of executives and leaders was employed, based on semi-structured interviews, to understand how to address this type of transformation. The analysis indicates that, having long-term policies for the development of new skills in their collaborators is a critical success factor. These policies are summarized in three stages, through a reference framework for the generation of specific actions in pursuit of the development of a successful DT process. DT fosters a cultural change in the entities to generate capacities that allow them to anticipate the evolution of the market and adapt quickly to it, for which it is fundamental to promote the training of new technical and behavioral skills in collaborators, in addition to encouraging them to self-train. |

Este trabajo presenta una mirada crítica de cómo la Transformación Digital (TD) influye sobre la empleabilidad al interior de las organizaciones en Chile. El presente trabajo tiene por objeto analizar los efectos de la Transformación Digital sobre la empleabilidad en Chile, entregando un marco de referencia de acciones para la competitividad en el ámbito de este tipo de transformaciones. Para lograrlo, se propone una aproximación cualitativa a las opiniones de ejecutivos y líderes, basada en entrevistas semiestructuradas, considerando una muestra por conveniencia, para entender qué y cómo la organización analizada aborda este tipo de transformación. El análisis señala como factor crítico de éxito en las organizaciones, disponer de políticas de largo plazo para el desarrollo de nuevas habilidades en sus colaboradores, resumidas en tres etapas concretas, por medio de un marco de referencias para la generación de acciones específicas en pos del desarrollo de un proceso exitoso de TD. La TD propicia un cambio cultural en las entidades con el fin de permitirles generar capacidades para anticipar la evolución del mercado y adaptarse ágilmente a este, siendo para ello fundamental potenciar la formación de nuevas habilidades técnicas y del comportamiento en sus colaboradores, además de incentivarlos a la autoformación.
