Achieving Productivity: 24 Essential Skills for High-Performing Teams is a customizable learning and development program designed to help individuals and organizations thrive in today’s fast-changing global economy.
With disengaged workers, unfilled job positions, and many people living paycheck to paycheck, the modern workforce faces significant challenges. Only 23% of workers globally report being engaged at work, while millions of job openings remain unfilled due to a lack of available talent.
The program highlights the importance of adapting to rapid technological changes and emphasizes that success requires more than just technical (hard) or interpersonal (soft) skills. It introduces the concept of Essential Skills, which are critical for connecting and enhancing both hard and soft skills, promoting self-awareness, and helping individuals navigate and succeed in complex environments.
Achieving Productivity offers valuable insights for businesses of all sizes, non-profits, and government agencies, providing a pathway to develop human capital, boost employee engagement, and ensure long-term success amid ongoing disruptions.
