Warning: Your Business Could Be Losing One Day a Week Because of Insufficient Digital Skills

In a successful business, people work together in unison. Even so, each employee needs the skills to succeed and the potential to develop.

It is the team leader’s responsibility to grow and equip the team. Yet, there is one area often overlooked when developing employees: digital skills.

A Digital Skills Shortage

A McKinsey poll found that 21% of the average working week is unproductive because of insufficient digital skills. Put another way, this is equivalent to a  year loss of $10,000,000 for companies of a 1,000 or more employees.

Despite companies from different sectors investing large sums in the latest productivity and training software, only one in ten American employees consider themselves proficient at using productivity tools like email, collaboration systems, or project management software.
