Recent studies reveal that 70% of corporate leaders report a significant skills gap within their organizations, particularly in essential soft skills like strategic thinking, problem-solving, and communication (Springboard) (Betterworks). The lack of soft skills is impeding business performance and innovation across industries. The need for effective soft skills in the workplace is reaching an all-time high.
In the context of an increasingly remote and hybrid work environment, effective remote collaboration, virtual communication, and adaptability have become the most in-demand and sought-after soft skills. Employers are seeking candidates who can thrive under these new working conditions, making soft skills more important than ever (Insight Global) (Ongig Blog).
