Abstract

This research seeks to explore the role of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 in transforming the workforce through human resource management strategies. The study focuses on how this vision affects policy renewal and the development of the work environment in line with a diversified knowledge-based economy. As for the design and methodology, this research paper relied on a descriptive methodology based on studying current literature and government reports, in addition to analyzing secondary data related to human resources in the Kingdom. The focus was on strategies such as digital transformation in human resources while enhancing Saudization and developing national skills, in addition to considering the role of international partnerships, such as cooperation with the International Labor Organization. The results of the study showed that Vision 2030 has resulted in significant development in the human resources sector in Saudi Arabia, as digital technologies have been adopted in employee management and there has been a significant increase in women's participation in the workforce. It was also shown that localization and continuous training programs have contributed to bridging skills gaps and achieving sustainable growth in the local market. The results also indicate that Vision 2030 is not just an economic plan, but rather a comprehensive transformation that reshapes the labor market in the Kingdom. The study indicates that challenges related to skills, adapting to automation, and changing workforce expectations still exist. Saudi Arabia's investments in human capital are expected to contribute to achieving sustainability and sustainable growth in the future. As for the scientific implications of this study, it emphasizes the importance of adopting effective strategies in human resources management, such as activating digital solutions, enhancing women's participation, and developing local skills. Companies and institutions in the Kingdom must also focus on innovation, providing continuous training, and strengthening partnerships between the public and private sectors to ensure success in achieving the goals of Vision 2030 and achieving a positive transformation in the workforce in a sustainable manner.
