...differing work ethics. When the older worker leaves, they will take a lot of the company history and knowledge with them. Depending on management, the challenges of an ageing workforce can either help or harm a company’s operations. First, companies are beginning to face challenges as the workforce begins to age because technological advances can be difficult for the experienced workers to learn. Although the experienced worker, or Baby Boomer, has done a particular job a certain way for many years both effectively and efficiently, companies implement new technology to remain current. The Baby Boomer population did not grow up with computers or much of today’s technology; however, they are willing to learn. Teaching new technology takes time which can take away from productivity. Human Resources must be able to manage the ebbs and flows that come with training. (http://smallbusiness.chron.com/impact-aging-workers-hr-department-60913.html) Next, tensions can arise as younger more tech savvy employees enter the workforce. Oftentimes the work ethic of the older professional is different than that of the younger professional. Older professionals may feel that younger professionals who insist upon a work-life balance are not as committed to the company as they are. Younger professionals may feel that they have the skill to do a job quicker or more efficiently than an older professional. Human Resources and management must know how to maintain the dignity and respect of the...

...Human resources has been my career choice for the last twelve years. An environment that once used to be manually driven is now dominated by the advances in technology. The essay that follows will showcase how many work environments have evolved with the new wave of technology. Many employers have had to retrain their employees because of the new technological advances, therefore enabling a less manually dominant driven work space. Currently most companies across the world function are technologically driven. Whether it be submitting a report via a sky drive or on-boarding a new employee, almost 85% of one’s job has evolved due to the changes in technology. Being a Human resources professional for the last twelve years, I have seen firsthand the changes that came as technology evolved. Examples: payroll used to be outsourced; a telegram would be the only way to communicate with another division of your company located at different site. Picking up the phone would be the only way to communicate with department within your organization, now you can email that person to communicate a message. Recently my organization upgraded our database and installed a Applicant Tracking System along with a more sophisticated payroll system. This system has allowed the employees to manage three very key work functions that once used to function separately and added extra work mileage to each function. The new software greatly improved these three key components: tracking new employees,...
