Future Of Automotive Sector To
Be Led By Digital Transformation
One of the most important issues for our businesses is talent management,
Alper Kanca, head of TAYSAD
The effects of Digital
transformation to human
resources management and future
of the automotive sector have been
observed at the conference entitled
“Talent Management Conference”
in the host of Turkish Association of
Automotive Parts and Components
Manufacturers (TAYSAD).
The head of TAYSAD, Alper Kanca
said young people who have
adapted to digital transformation
will guide the future of the
automotive sector.
Alper Kanca delivered the keynote
speech at the conference where
the senior level representatives of
TAYSAD member firms and human
resources’ administrators attended.
Speaking at the conference
held at the Green Park Pendik
Hotel & Convention Center,
indicating recognizing heads of
human resources each other and
cooperation had become a must,
Kanca said; “One of the most
important issues for our businesses
is talent management. For this
as TAYSAD we try to discover the
talents of our employees who will
carry our companies to the future.
We held this conference to find
talented staffs, to improve and
keep in the hand, to bring together
heads of human resources and to
increase information exchange.”
Highlighting they would need
to talented graduates from the
vocational schools within their
human resources policy, Kanca
recorded; “Unfortunately the
vocational schools are not in our
desired level. We manage works to
improve the talented students in the
vocational schools via determining
needs of these schools. We also
try to remove the needs of these
schools.”
Stating the needs should be
focused on young people in
order to remove lack of human
resources, Alper Kanca said;
“Universities are source of the
basic application to find the most
important human resources for
the automotive supplier industry.
There is our very talented young
population. We should allow these
young populations knowledgeable
and invite to our sector. As TAYSAD
we visit universities and tell the
automotive sector. We call them
to our plants and let them like
automotive. So we attract them to
automotive sector. We try to tell
why working in the automotive
sector is important, what it will
acquire them. We also focus on
the new generation managers.
We bring together, train them.
Catching a good synergy we try
to make benefit for our young
people.”
More qualified employees to be
needed with industry 4.0

“Human Resources Management”
has been evolved in line with
industry 4.0, Perihan Inci, Deputy
Chairman of TAYSAD, said; “Today
change is being experienced in lots
of areas with Industry 4.0. Life of
Human Resources will be reshaped
with existing Y generation in the
business life and Z generation that
will enter into human resources.”
Indicating one of the most
important changes would happen
in business life in the future, Inci
said; “Instead of working hours, a
more flexible working hours will
appear. The automotive sector will
be the most effected sector in which
digitalization to be used through
Industry 4.0. Our aim is to use
power of Human Resources in the
best way. While fewer employees
will be needed with Industry 4.0,
but a more qualified labor force will
be needed.”
