During the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, digital work practices were challenged as training and meetings on-site were not possible anymore. This may have had an impact on the digital competencies of HRD professionals due to more possibilities for informal learning. In a quantitative analysis, we utilized a sample of N = 300 human resource developers surveyed in 2019 and 2020 to investigate if digital competencies of HRD professionals on an individual level have increased. The main finding is that self-reported instrumental skills, e.g., digital collaboration, have significantly increased.
