In the Philippines, 23.9% of population is jobless (10.9m in March 2018) while 40% of employers globally say a skills shortage is driving entry-level vacancies. The main reason why many are jobless is the skill gap, especially soft skills. In the future world of work, “the burden of transition will fall most heavily on elementary workers and skilled agricultural workers… the ASEAN workforce’s most significant challenge is to upgrade its softer, foundational and interactive skillset.” (Cisco, 2018)
Yet, human skills are critical but cannot be developed by traditional learning. The nature of business today demands human skills such as empathy, communication, leadership skills at all levels of the organization. However, way over 90% of CEOs say that human skills are more difficult to develop than digital skills. Moreover, today’s needs in learning & development have exploded in terms of scale, complexity, and overheads with an ever-increasing millennial workforce, leading to immense friction.
At BagoSphere, we help people develop human skills that unlock their full potential. Because it’s the human skills like adaptability, teamwork and critical thinking that will future-proof your people. Technical skills will always evolve, but it is human skills that will keep your organization thrive in today’s complex and fast-changing economy.
