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

Our co-founder, Patrick Chun, speaking at Human Resources Advisory Board of AdvisoryCloud. Go Patrick go!

At Stanford University, Oxford-trained Prof Daniel Susskind talks about a universal basic income (UBI) in the age of AI where nobody has work (at least not in the traditional sense). Prof. Susskind suggested UBI needs to be conditional, an incentive allowing motivated people to "...contribute to the collective pot...but not on fulfilling paid work..." With the World Civility Index, it can satisfy this role. Every individual citizen can become better in serving each other with more decorum, more empathy, more intercultural understanding. Rebuilding social fabric and contributing to peace. Contributing to the collective pot.

Dalila Canario, Licensed IITTI Trainer, in Lima, Peru, helping future soft skills trainers both domestically and abroad (Canada this time) in earning seventy (70) World Civility Index points. This is a certificate package on Business 'Level 1' where students learn professional dress code, business communication and dining etiquette. Dining etiquette is "old school" you say?! Think again. Many CEOs and senior management have this kind of refinement training. They may not tell you what you are doing wrong because they have been trained to be polite. But if you do know the way, you could be seen as an "insider" and be accepted more readily. Dining etiquette is non-verbal communication. You make your impression before you even speak! Thank you Dalila for showing the way! #TrainTheTrainer #SoftSkillsTraining #ProfessionalImage #BusinessEtiquette #CorporateCommunications #DiningEtiquette #socialfabric #SoftSkillsStandard #IITTI #WorldCivilityIndex #CSR #ESG #ESGreporting #Sustainability #HumanCapital #DiversityEquityInclusion #DEI #Greenwashing

Our co-founder, Patrick Chun, will be talking about the global situation of "over-tourism", hosted by the AICI Global (Association of Image Consultants International), AICI Canada Canada Chapter. The idea is to educate tourists and earn World Civility Index "points" as proof so that destination authorities can grant preferential entrance admission and businesses can give perks.

Fifty journalists in Sarawak, Malaysia, learning social etiquette. An example of how to maintain credibility and professional image.    On Sep 30, 2024, Dr. Dianne Tsen (曾小轩), Licensed IITTI Trainer, led 50 Malaysian journalists in soft skills to refine the image of journalism professionals, hosted by Kuching Freelance Journalist Association (Pewarta).   The event was kicked off by Malaysia federal Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing at the opening ceremony.    The concept is that all participants can earn World Civility Index "points" as proof.  This is useful, for example, for tourists to develop deeper, meaningful cultural connections.    Why the World Civility Index matter?     Without measurement, it's hard to measure progress!    When different professions and companies start using this, it directly raises people skills and social bonding, and in turn, mends social fabrics. Part of what the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development is aiming in order to promote peace.    Thank you Dianne for your leadership!    Example media coverages:  1.) https://lnkd.in/gki_Y9RS (i.e. https:// dayakdaily dot com /championing-global-civility-through-soft-skills-world-civility-index/) 2.) https://lnkd.in/gt2vX7VR (i.e. https:// dayakdaily dot com /50-journalists-media-industry-practioners-attend-etiquette-workshop-organised-by-pewarta/) 3.) https://lnkd.in/grakczx2 (i.e. https:// www dot theborneopost dot com /2024/09/30/etiquette-among-aspects-reflecting-journalists-commitment-to-profession-says-minister/) #IITTI #WorldCivilityIndex #StandardizedTesting #StandardizedCredentialing #Credentialing #SoftSkillsStandard #SoftSkills #UNSustainableDevelopmentGoals #SocialFabric  #SoftSkillsTraining #ProfessionalImage #BusinessEtiquette #CorporateCommunications #DiningEtiquette #CSR #ESG #ESGreporting #Sustainability #HumanCapital #DiversityEquityInclusion #DEI #Greenwashing

Thank you Lewa Pardomuan of CNA for an insightful documentary on over-tourism in Bali, Indonesia. IITTI World Civility Index co-founder, Patrick Chun, says, "We were recently asked to help educate tourists in social etiquette, empathy, and intercultural awareness, where they would earn "points" called 'World Civility Index' as proof to show destination authorities for preferential entrance admission. This documentary helps in identifying the real issues and people involved. Thank you!" BACKGROUND What is World Civility Index? This Index is somewhat similar to a person's credit rating, but instead of measuring how well a person can pay his bills, it measures a person's soft skills. Historically it has been used in corporate training for internal performance evaluation to build company culture. But now, it is borrowed over for tourism to allow destination authorities to vet for "high-quality" tourists.

Misbehaving tourists?! The only long-term solution is to do what Pedro Marine, chairman of Mallorca Hotel Association in Spain says, "You have to sensitize people in their country of origin." The IITTI World Civility Index provides a long-term education on social etiquette, empathy and intercultural awareness by reading articles, watching videos and attending webinars...and earning "points" as proof to show tourist destination authorities for preference entrance admission and other perks.
