Keeping Up With IT
Samuel is in his mid-40s and has worked for Andres Enterprises for almost 20 years. Samuel has
seen the enterprise grow from just over 20 employees when he started to work for the enterprise
to over 200 today. Even though Samuel has been promoted over the years and his responsibility
has increased, he has recently become worried about his future at the enterprise. This has
something to do with his uneasiness in the use of computers. For the past five years, this was not
much of a concern since computers were not used in any HR applications. But with the internet
gaining so much popularity especially in its application in the field of HR, Samuel is starting to
be restless. He feels he is no longer young to learn the new technology aside from the fact he is
having a hard time understanding the system. Because Samuel is so far behind his colleagues
when it comes to using the new technology, he is shy to ask for help. To make matters worse, a
memo was issued by the head of HR informing everyone to actively use the HRIS in the
different HR functions , including the processing of applicants, payroll computations, and the
employees’ benefits administration.
