Abstract

The digital transformation of manufacturing industries presents unprecedented opportunities for innovation and efficiency, yet it simultaneously creates significant challenges for workforce adaptation and well-being. This chapter examines the human dimensions of digital manufacturing through a social work lens, emphasizing the critical need for comprehensive support systems during technological transitions. Drawing from social work theories and frameworks, this analysis explores how person-in-environment perspectives, systems theory, and strengths-based approaches can inform more humane and effective strategies for workforce development in the digital age. The chapter presents practical interventions, policy recommendations, and integrated frameworks that prioritize worker well-being while supporting organizational transformation. By centering human needs within technological advancement, this work contributes to a more holistic understanding of sustainable digital manufacturing that benefits both organizations and communities.
