Soft skills impact your bottom line.

82% of employees quit due to a manager’s bad soft skills.
17 Hours per employee per week are wasted clarifying previous communication.
$1.5 million is wasted each year by an average company of 50 employees due to ineffective soft skills.

The Challenge

Are soft skills impacting your productivity and retention rate?

73% of employers say they cannot find graduates with sufficient soft skills (SHRM). Are you one of them? JAKAPA can help.

A 1918 study concluded that 80% of success is due to soft skills and 100 years later we still fail to produce graduates with sufficient skills.

The Partnership for 21st Century Learning identified that professionalism/work ethic, teamwork/collaboration and oral communications are the key characteristics they need in their employees.

How much does a lack of soft skills cost your organization annually?
