Purpose: The aim of this paper is to identify roles played by HR departments in Polish innovative enterprises. Design/methodology/approach: A critical analysis of literature, research results and reports analysis helped to achieve the aim. In order to identify the tasks performed by HR departments, D. Ulrich’s model was employed. Findings: The roles most commonly performed by the HR departments of the analysed enterprises were those of administrative expert and employee champion. The roles of strategic partner and change agent were somewhat less commonly undertaken. Moreover, HR departments most commonly undertake activities aimed at creating a good working atmosphere, analysing employees’ competences and allowing them to develop, as well as quick and efficient processing employee matters. Digital transformation results in a change of expectations towards HR departments. The challenges faced by HR departments will revolve around the implementation of IT solutions in enterprises, improving the efficiency of employee management, and coping with the expectations of future employees from generation Y and Z. Practical implications: The HR department should perform new tasks within its roles. Given the simultaneous benefits and concerns related to digital transformation, it will fall to HR departments to assume the role of change agent by ensuring their organisations’ capacity for change, as well as administrative expert responsible for reengineering organisational processes. Originality/value: The tasks and roles played by HR department in innovative enterprises were identified. By analysing trends on the market, it was concluded that the HR departments are facing challenges.
