Self-management and reading and writing skills show deficiencies
More and more supervisors are concerned about the work ethic of young graduates. carried out by the British non-profit organization CBI in collaboration with the British book publisher Pearson
Of the 344 companies surveyed, 32 percent criticized the work attitude and 40 percent noted the young generation's lack of customer awareness.
Attitudes are subject to change
“The 'everything used to be better' syndrome is of course widespread - even in management levels. Of course, it is easy to quickly point the finger at the education system or 'today's youth' as the sole culprit and not to blame oneself,"
said marketing expert Bernd Pfeiffer from LimeSoda to pressetext.
However, one could also argue that many companies and managers still have very outdated views.
“Both the way we work and the things that are important to young employees in their jobs have changed significantly in recent years,”
sums up Pfeiffer in the press release discussion.
School enrollment is often time-consuming
Work ethic includes attitudes and behaviors that affect self-management and resilience.
According to the study leaders, teachers need to better convey the importance of work attitude and suitability in order to counteract this inadequate attitude.
The focus should not only be on academic standards, but also on aspects of personal development.
But it's not just the graduates' attitudes that are criticized. When it comes to reading and writing skills, 33 percent of those surveyed also see a massive need to catch up.
29 percent identify arithmetic skills as a problem area. In order to catch up, young talent often has to undergo time-consuming training.
Here, two out of five companies have to provide expensive additional training for school graduates or school leavers.
