5 Signs Your Workers May be Struggling with Literacy & Essential Skills:

1. Change initiatives often fail or are slow to be implemented
2. Employees are reluctant to participate in team meetings and avoid training sessions
3. Excellent employees continually turn down promotion opportunities
4. Staff make excuses. For example, “I’ll read it later,” or “I forgot my glasses,” when put in situations where reading or writing is required
5. Employee absenteeism is high
