In a recent report, “The Power of Transportable Skills: Assessing the Demand and Value of the Skills of the Future,” Project Lead The Way (PLTW) and Burning Glass Technologies examined workforce demand for five such skills: collaboration, problem-solving, critical and creative thinking, communication, and ethical reasoning and mindset. |

Citing a study from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), the article points out that employee turnover is expensive, costing an average of 6 to 9 months’ salary to replace a worker. Employee engagement is one of the top turnover causes, and businesses that focus on improving employee engagement, not just revenue, can see benefits throughout their company and operations.
