Digitalization and digital skills are important for performance development, helping employees adapt, increasing productivity, and maintaining organizational competitiveness in the digital era. Based on the problems above, the research objectives can be formulated: Describe digitalization, work skills, job satisfaction, and employee performance. The respondents in this study were all employees who handled ship arrival and departure permits at 39 shipping companies in South Kalimantan, totaling 191 people. The study results indicate that technological advances encourage organizations to prioritize digitalization and digital skills to increase efficiency and competitiveness. Continuous training and digital literacy empower employees to adapt to technological changes and support productivity and innovation. Conversely, ignoring digital skills hinders adaptation, reduces productivity, and threatens the company's relevance in the rapidly evolving modern business landscape, limiting the ability to innovate according to market demands. The study's results contribute to companies prioritizing digital skills training through courses, workshops, and a culture of continuous learning to empower employees to innovate, increase productivity, and maintain competitiveness in the digital era.
