Ever feel like your workforce could use a boost in soft skills? You're not the only one! A recent study by Adecco Staffing reveals 44 percent of executives surveyed said a lack of soft skills was the biggest proficiency gap they saw in the workforce.

It's simple; improv is a team-based performance art where performers work together to create scenes based on audience suggestions.
