IITTI World Civility Index

Apple, Google, Starbucks, IBM, Bank of America, and many other employers are putting focus on soft skills rather than a university degree to decide who to hire. Soft skills such as business etiquette, empathy, intercultural awareness. https://lnkd.in/dicvbtE (At CNBC-Microsoft, CNBC dot com/2018/08/16/15-companies-that-no-longer-require-employees-to-have-a-college-degree.html) #IITTI #WorldCivilityIndex #SoftSkillsCredential #employment #career

It is the "little things" that make a big difference in the long run. And dining etiquette is a form of non-verbal communication. Thank you Viviana Aguayo Maruri, long-time IITTI Associate, in leading the way! #IITTI #WorldCivilityIndex #SocialEtiquette

Thank you Riipen for voting us to be the 'Employer Spotlight'! Riipen is a group helping to match-make employers with students. It does a lot of the heavy-lifting for both on the company side as well as the university side. At the end of the day, students get a taste of the "real world" and all benefit from it! #Employability #HumanCapitalDevelopment #IITTI #WorldCivilityIndex

Latest report from Harvard Business School: MBAs are struggling to find jobs. Managing Director of Career and Professional Development Kristen Fitzpatrick says "Going to Harvard is not a differentiator; you need the skills to back it up." What skills? People skills, or soft skills. Skills such as social etiquette, empathy, intercultural awareness. They are hard to come by and take a long time to cultivate. That's why you need to start as early as possible. Earn World Civility Index points as proof to future employers. You earn such credentials on a daily basis by reading articles and watching videos...sprinkled with the occasional webinars. As we don't allow binge watching or binge reading, participants can only earn one (1) point per day in this reading program. For someone with, for example, 100 points, it shows he/she has the discipline and commitment to spend 100 days in such work. Very few places on the internet enable people to show such qualities. The kind of qualities employers love.

GDP DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD?! GDP goes up when there is a war and ammunition companies produce more bombs, guns and tanks. A new measurement based on empathy, intercultural awareness, social etiquette is needed in order to measure true humanity well-being. The World Civility Index allows both individuals, organizations and even countries to measure their efforts. Thank you Carolina D. Tan, AICI CIP, REB and Licensed IITTI Master Instructor for remembering this herculean endeavor the group did.

Oxford economist Kate Raworth talks about the need for taking care of humanity beyond GDP, in her talk at TED. The IITTI World Civility Index group is proposing exactly that. A universal civilization measurement which is based on individual citizen's effort on areas such as social etiquette, empathy, intercultural awareness. What gets measured gets done.

An insightful blog from Gib Bulloch, 20-year veteran at Accenture and author of "The Intrapreneur: Confessions of a corporate insurgent" arguing that before serious global issues such as climate change can be solved, the focus needs to be about the inner self, the well-being, the soft skills. Citizens can only have the mental space to think about the "bigger things" like environmental sustainability when they feel safe and respected in their community. Mr. Gib Bulloch, together with IITTI co-founder, Patrick Chun, are members of IDG (Inner Development Goals), a non-profit founded by people from Harvard, Stockholm, Lund Universities, etc. together with 10,000+ scientists, experts and HR sustainability professionals to tackle complex societal challenges. IDG Switzerland Hub is publishing a book chapter on the IITTI World Civility Index highlighting how this index is quantifying the IDGs. Thank you for your leadership, Gib Bulloch. https://lnkd.in/gKwg6AxN (ie https:// thebeautifultruth dot org/the-inside-out-leader/the-inside-out-leader-why-sustainable-development-must-start-with-inner-development) #innerdevelopmentgoals #IDG #SoftSkillsTraining #ProfessionalImage #BusinessEtiquette #CorporateCommunications #DiningEtiquette #socialfabric #SoftSkillsStandard #IITTI #WorldCivilityIndex #CSR #ESG #ESGreporting #Sustainability #HumanCapital #DiversityEquityInclusion #DEI #Greenwashing

Thank you Robyn A. D. for insight into the critical element of time as the best strategy in enhancing company culture! As IITTI co-founder, Patrick Chun, said, "So true. No magic bullet. Time is the critical element. Best if young people can be educated *before* they step into the workforce, then employers can have new blood that already understand the importance of people skills." What IITTI found in the field that works is a micro-learning/micro-credentialing tactic to suit busy lifestyle of young people. A participant can read an article (Yes! Read!), watch a video or attend a webinar where each can earn World Civility Index points as proof to future employers. No binge watch (or binge read), just one per day. So if a person can show 100 World Civility Index points (ie 100 days of learning), it is proof that this person has the staying power, the discipline! Something that isn't easily shown in most other places on the internet. #Microlearning #Microcredentialing #IITTI #WorldCivilityIndex #SoftSkills #CompanyCulture
