In the article “Employees struggle to adapt to a new workplace technology” (2020) from the web page Workplace Insight, Smith reports technology in the workplace has a significant impact on business performance, growth, and industrialization. Businesses inevitably face difficulties in management when technology demand is increasing; they need to invest to upgrade technology regularly to improve work efficiency and business results. While young workers easily adapt to technology because they believe that technology makes their lives better, many employees are struggling to adapt to the new technology. According to Smith, “many employers are still struggling to adopt a strategy that incorporates technological change, such as automation.” Businesses and employees face many barriers and challenges such as the budget for technology investment is still limited, “requirement of new processes” and internal training, staff lack skills and mutual support, and obstacles in coordination between departments. It shows that in order a business to have access to new technology and work effectively, it needs to go through obstacles about budget and training.
