I have several employees that have not embraced any of the new technological advances. In fact some don’t even want to be involved in any new technology. It is a dilemma when you have a person that is very capable in their job but they do not want to learn new ways to do their job. I am implementing a paperless invoice system for some technicians. To say it was met with a luke warm reception would be an understatement. This is a green initiative and also eliminates double work writing the invoices once and then putting them in the computer later. I found a couple of technicians to start the program, once the others saw them learning a new skill it became easier to find volunteers. The technicians are smart enough to know the more skills they have the more money for them. Competition,more money, and peer pressure helps keep people motivated to learn.





Innovation and productivity gains are what truly drive growth in the economy…it is good they got on board because otherwise the world would pass them by.
