Digital transformation is the current development paradigm of any modern organisation. Digitalisation, automation and robotisation actively affect the activities of both large and small enterprises and have an impact on all spheres of life. Studying the correlation of corporate interests of employees and managers of Russian Railways, JSC transport holding allowed us to identify areas of their correlation, as well as areas where we defined their inconsistency. At the same time, this area of interaction between employees and employers requires active research since it does not always fall into the research field. Based on empirical research, analysis of corporate reports on the company’s business activities, as well as content analysis of interviews with managers, the authors show that alignment of interest can be achieved by means of systematic development and meeting the needs of staff in training and development; availability of a clear program of the company’s development and provision of a wide range of social benefits and guarantees contribute to the achievement of stable position on the market of logistic services, stable work teams, high level of staff involvement in the activities of the company, higher job satisfaction, greater confidence of staff in developing and implementing changes, as well as improving technical, technological and operating processes. On the other hand, the study shows that in the opinion of managers and potential employees (based on the analysis of the generation Z’s system of values) the corporate management model of Russian Railways, JSC may create barriers to the development of the company and fulfilment of employees’ labour potential. This problem can be avoided by improving corporate management systems and increasing the independence of the staff.
