The fast development of AI systems has encompassed all fields of activity, including HRM. At the current stage, AI is replacing human labor, which is leading to substantial changes in the structure of the labor market, in particular in the qualitative content of professional competences. The substitution of human labor by robots orAI systems is becoming a major concern for HR managers. AI systems are also present in all HRM functions. This paper makes a foray into the literature to analyze the extent of involvement of AI in HRM activities. In this context, mostly papers published in scientific journals indexed in WEB of Science were extracted. In total, 42 papers published in journals related to human resources management on the one hand and to information technologies on the other hand were examined. The research results prove the concerns of researchers for all HRM activities. Thus, AI systems are applied in traditional HRM activities such as: recruitment and selection, training and professional development, talent management, performance management, staff turnover and personnel compensation. Beyond traditional HRM activities, AI systems are also implemented in activities that at first sight would seem difficult to apply, such as job design, employee engagement and job satisfaction. Regardless of the HRM activities in which AI systems are embedded, the result leads to the reconfiguration of the HRM system within organizations. These are the future trends that will more strongly appear in the structure of the HR function in organizations, and along with it, the reconsideration of the professional competencies of HR specialists. In the process of the implementation of AI systems, the main concern of both HR managers and employees is to comply with ethical principles and to ensure fairness and objectivity in dealing with all categories of employees in the organization.

A well-structured onboarding process goes beyond the simple transmission of administrative information, transforming into a strategic mechanism for strengthening organizational culture and developing a sense of belonging. Through personalized programs, which include career guidance, mentoring, managerial support and open communication, employees manage to clarify their roles and responsibilities more quickly, develop their confidence and integrate into the team. The article highlights the importance of effective onboarding in reducing staff turnover and preventing the costs associated with repeated recruitment, showing that organizations that invest in this stage achieve higher levels of employee satisfaction and involvement. At the same time, the article formulates a series of practical recommendations for organizations: extending integration programs up to 90 days, institutionalizing a mentoring system or "buddy system", organizing interactive activities to strengthen organizational culture, digitizing the onboarding process and integrating periodic evaluation and feedback mechanisms. The conclusions support the idea that staff integration is not just an initial formality, but a fundamental strategy for retention, motivation and organizational development, with direct effects on performance, innovation and sustainability. Therefore, long-term organizational success is conditioned by the way in which companies build and implement their employee integration policies.

Although it represents a natural process of development of human societies, migration continues to be one of the greatest challenges facing modern societies. The cumulative impact of migration effects on societies in general and their economies has the role of either balancing or unbalancing them. The negative effects of migration are most often attributed to countries of origin and refer to: depopulation of communities from which people emigrated, the exodus of the qualitative workforce, population aging, etc. These effects set up a study subject for multiple scientific researches. On the other hand, the positive effects are attributed to the host countries and consider reducing the labor shortage, reducing vacancies for unskilled jobs, increasing the economic level, attracting the young population, increasing technical and scientific progress and innovation, etc. Migration, especially labor migration, represents an important factor generating growth and development, including for the country of origin of the labor force. Moreover, the cumulative effects and development impact of migration tend to be more evident for the country of origin than for the country of destination. Labor migration significantly contributes to raising the standard of living and improving the quality of life in communities of origin, the impact being not only economic and social, but also cultural, political, and demographic. The study used scientific research methods such as the analytical method, logical and dialectical modeling, comparative and synthesis methods, etc. In closing, we note that the development impact of migration in the Republic of Moldova has occurred on the entire national economy. The GDP growth in the last two decades has been largely due to remittances, the standard of living of citizens has increased considerably. However, the greatest impact was achieved at the local community level, the benefits being multiple. JEL: J61; O0; R1 BOGUȘ, Angela and Cezara ABRAMIHIN.
