'Tech shaming' | HR is failing younger workers with one key area of L&D

Skilled workers of all generations likely need to embrace the use of technology to do their jobs.

Whether it be powerful imaging and rendering software, or even mastering the age-old complexities of Microsoft’s Excel platform, there is much to get your head around when cutting your teeth in forging a successful career.

Luckily for today’s workers, learning and development is a pivotal element of HR’s remit, and the tools they need to get up to speed quickly are constantly at their fingertips in the form of bitesize learning, internal LMS platforms and a slew of very strong services provided by the booming L&D market.

Yet, it seems that there’s one element of workplace development currently slipping through HR’s fingers when getting younger workers acclimated with working life. Likely an unexpected outcome of the pandemic and the shift to remote or hybrid working, many young professionals simply have no idea how to utilise traditional office tools such as printers, copiers or scanners.
