Resumen

El contexto de las tecnologías digitales y la robotización tiene una fuerte influencia en la industria, especialmente en el entorno laboral. El sector de la hotelería implica necesariamente un contacto personal con los clientes. Por tanto, en los hoteles, el desarrollo digital representa una solución para mejorar los procesos operativos, pero supone una modificación de las políticas de captación y retención del talento. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el impacto real de la transformación digital en las políticas de recursos humanos, particularmente en los departamentos de recepción, room service y housekeeping, centrado en los hoteles de categoría superior de Barcelona (hoteles de cuatro y cinco estrellas). Metodológicamente, se realiza una investigación cualitativa mediante entrevistas personales semiestructuradas a directores generales, gerentes de recursos humanos, jefes de recepción y housekeepers para verificar la adaptación efectiva de este sector hacia la digitalización y los cambios en las estrategias de recursos humanos
