One of the most distinct characteristics of today’s world is technological advancement. Cloud computing is widely used by all sectors including transportation logistics companies since it gives many benefits. However, the rapid technological change not only brings benefits but also affects the use of employees. This change is involved in the way of performing tasks, which has to be known by the employees. Thus, older workers are unable to adapt well, which in turn has indirect impact on the decision of the company to continue hiring older workers. In addition, the gender gap is still a concern in this sector. This study involved a total of 125 respondents. A quantitative research method using a questionnaire survey was utilised in data collection. In conclusion, the results demonstrated that the company gives preference to employing younger workers over those of a more senior age. In the meantime, there was a significant rate of employee turnover among those who had been with the company for between one and five years. Aside from that, past study has shown that there is a gender gap in this industry, which is contradict to the findings of this research, which showed that women are active participants.
