“…According to Robinson (2000), employability skills are the basic skills necessary for acquiring and keeping a job and doing it well. Singh and Singh (2008) argue that employability skills are generic in nature as opposed to being job-specific, and cut across all industries, businesses and job levels, from entry-level to the most senior positions. Curtis and McKenzie (2001: 7–8) suggest that “employability implies the qualities of resourcefulness, adaptability and flexibility, and therefore signals some of the required qualities for success in work and life as a whole”.…”

Established and well-known employers in Bangladesh often complain that suitable candidates are not available for employment in their organizations, despite the millions of unemployed graduates in the country. This bears clear witness that graduates in Bangladesh are mostly unable to fulfill the needs and expectations of established and well-known employers. Employing a qualitative research approach, this article explores the desired employability skills and graduates’ work readiness from the perspective of established and well-known employers in Bangladesh. The study identified the desired skills and traits as ‘communication’ ‘teamwork and collaboration’, ‘problem solving’, ‘computer literacy and technical skill’, ‘honesty and integrity’, ‘hardworking and willingness to take on extra work’, ‘achievement orientation’, ‘adaptability’, ‘time management’, ‘leadership’, ‘personality’ and ‘academic results and knowledge’. The study also revealed that graduates mostly lack the necessary skills as envisaged by Bangladeshi employers. As employers have outright authority in the selection of graduates, it is suggested that universities work together with industries to develop the skills and traits they demand. This is the first study, to the authors’ knowledge, to explore employability skills and graduates’ work readiness from the perspective of established and well-known employers in Bangladesh.

This study examines the relationship between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors and stock prices as well as investment performance. ESG factors have become increasingly relevant in investment decisions as investors prioritize companies with sustainable practices. Using a sample of publicly-traded companies, this research analyzes the impact of ESG factors on stock prices and investment returns. The findings suggest that companies with strong ESG performance tend to have higher stock prices and better investment performance than those with weak ESG performance. The study also highlights the significance of the individual components of ESG, such as environmental policies and corporate governance practices, on stock prices and investment returns. Overall, this research provides valuable insights for investors seeking to incorporate ESG factors into their investment decision-making processes.
