Soft Skills Training

In business today, it takes more than just mastering the requisite technical competencies (hard skills) to secure a job and do it well. Soft skills, sometimes referred to as people skills or essential skills, are equally as important in navigating the workplace as they enable individuals to apply their technical knowledge and skills without being hindered by any form of discomfort which may emanate from strained interpersonal and team dynamics, negative perceptions of the organization and unhealthy workplace culture and climate.

So, why should you or your organisation care about soft skills?

Although once relegated to the “touchy-feely” category, soft skills have become much sought after attributes in the workplace and their benefits to individuals, teams, leaders and organisations are undisputed. This trend has given rise to exponential growth in demand for training in soft skills in business schools and workplaces as individuals and organisations realize positive returns where they are developed. Research has proven that employees who possess soft skills can have a direct impact on a company’s bottom line as they experience better well-being, and satisfaction in the workplace and are more productive as a result. When making hiring decisions, organisations now prioritise soft skills as a key differentiator between candidates.
