Is it not time for Human Resources professionals to be fully conversant with technology


Is it not time for Human Resources professionals to be fully conversant with technology?
In these days of technological revolution there are so many professionals out there who are specializing in management courses irrespective of their technical education, knowledge and experience.And they are becoming asset to the organization where they work in since they have knowledge to handle both men and material efficiently. However, when it comes to human resource professionals there is a kind of laid back attitude found in them since they prefer to confine themselves with human resource aspects and nothing beyond that.But they still command the final say in the hiring process.Eventually, the businesses out there are losing out best candidates because of human resource professionals lack of knowledge and/or experience related to technological aspects.

Where I work, the Human Resources is at the end of the hiring process. The floor managers choose the candidates after they have been short listed. Then HR does the final background and education checks. I do agree that many are not up-to-date on the workplace technology but I have also seen many persons with Master's degrees that have less PC skills than a high school graduate taking evening continuing ed. computer classes at a community college part time.
