Task:
With companies increasing their focus on the "human side of competitiveness," greater attention is being given to employee selection than ever before.
According to a recent survey Roy Maurer sites in his blog, seventy percent of college students and recent graduates said they would prefer a stable job without a high level of emotional investment or passion over a position with lots of passion but no job security. Additionally, a recent SHRM survey concluded that organizations believe 2015 college graduates lack knowledge/basic and applied skills:
1 43% Professionalism/work ethic
2 29% Writing in English
3 29% Relationship building/soft skills
4 28% Business acumen
5 26% Written communications
6 26% Critical thinking/problem-solving
Questions:
Q1 What implications might the survey findings have for organizational competitiveness?
Q2 How do you compare to the statistics reported in the surveys?
Q3 What are you doing to prepare yourself for the future?
