If you are 22 years old and entering the workforce this year, you have never known the world without the Internet and mobile technology. You could have used Facebook at 8 years old, and purchased gifts for Mother’s Day on amazon.com when you were 11 or 12. And if you are nearing retirement age, you were in your early 50’s the first time you could have watched a YouTube video or used an iPhone.

We can each place ourselves somewhere on the timeline from “digital immigrant” (people who did not grow up in the digital age) to “digital native” (people who grew up with technology all around them).

However, before you get over-excited and hit the open road, here are some quick tips to make sure you are prepared for the unexpected.

So much time and effort is put into producing a quality wine. Are you protecting your investment in case something should happen to your collection? You want to make sure it is properly taken care of until you’re ready to taste or sell it.

If you are like me, you love technology and want to have the latest and greatest of everything. The same can likely be said for many of your current employees and your future workforce. More is being expected from employers, especially when it comes to HR tech.
