Abstract

Digital technology is becoming increasingly connected with our everyday life, transforming not only the way we communicate, learn and relax but also how we live and work: a Metaverse workplace is in the making. Initially adopted by industries like gaming and fashion, an expanding array of sectors, including technology, finance, and health, are now utilizing the Metaverse for commercial applications. The results are increased brand loyalty and revenues, optimization of the product design and creation processes, offering a new avenue towards sustainability. As businesses navigate this novel terrain, the role of Human Resources is pivotal in shaping the future of work. A new strategy will be required for virtual recruitment, employee training and development, and at the same time businesses will need to consider how they can create safe and effective virtual workspaces that foster productivity and engagement, while addressing potential challenges such as virtual fatigue and burnout. The primary objective of this paper is to elucidate the role of HR in ensuring that the Metaverse evolves into a safe and inclusive work environment. Furthermore, it underscores the urgency of establishing a legal framework to regulate this complex and largely uncharted domain, thereby providing a foundation for sustainable and ethical practices in the Metaverse workplace.
