Workplace skills
While technical skills are still important to employers, the biggest concern of hiring managers is the diminishing soft skills of the workforce. Nearly 9 out of 10 companies in the U.S. report that the lack of these employability skills is THE most important factor in their hiring. Yet less than 20% of today’s employees demonstrate these crucial workplace skills on a consistent basis.
