Why aren't Students Learning Soft Skills in College?

When was the last time you used calculus to solve a workplace argument? Never, right? Exactly! While universities produce graduates with shiny degrees, most can't handle a single client call without panicking. 

A report by LinkedIn states that 92% of hiring managers value soft skills like teamwork and communication, yet colleges dedicate zero mandatory credits for these. Instead, they drill students with equations and theories, assuming they will magically rule the corporate chaos. The real world demands skills like adaptability, problem-solving and emotional intelligence that no professor tests in the exams. Thus, students leave college with hopes of cracking complicated things but are clueless about surviving in the workplace! 

Colleges should emphasise a curriculum that trains students to deal with the real problems!

The Real Costs of Recruitment!

Are you aware of the real recruitment costs? Recruitment costs are way more than what you expect and we're not just talking about job listing fees. As per stats, hiring a mid-level employee can set you back over 1.5x their annual salary. This estimate is excluding the cost of training, lost productivity or the toll on the team morale caused by unexpected ghosting! 

Companies pay the following real costs :-

1] Time sucked into endless candidate screenings. 

2] Brain cells lost over ‘right fit’ debates. 

3] Sleepless nights with onboarding pains. 

4] Average hires forcing a restart to the cycle. 

Every bad hire could mean up to 30% of an employee's first year salary going in vain. Imagine how disastrous a loss it would be if the blunders are repeated frequently? It's not cheap! 

So to avoid spending budgets in covering losses, choose AideWiser to handle the heavy lifting of recruitment because who has time or budget for guessing work?

How to Overcome Aging Workforce Issues?

As the workforce ages, companies face a dilemma because experienced and knowledgeable employees are leaving while younger talent isn't exactly ready to take over. In fact, by 2030, about 1 in 5 workers will be above 65. This isn't just about retirement but it's also about the knowledge gap, productivity, etc.

 

Here's how you can eliminate the age factor :-

1] Mentorship Programs : Pairing senior employees with young hires can be a win-win situation as young hires will bring innovation to the table while experienced players will pass on their wisdom! 

2] Flexible Roles : Design roles in such a way that it fits physical capabilities and preferences. Why lose valuable employees when you can redesign their jobs? 

3] Upskilling : Invest in training programs to keep the senior employees updated with Gen Z tech! 

The clock's ticking on workforce transformation but waiting isn't an option.
