The world of work is in a constant state of flux. By now, we’ve all seen, heard and experienced the changing demands of a modern-day place of work. Adapting to hybrid and remote settings, creating and building diverse and equitable organizations and finding different ways to enhance productivity, are just some of the changes that are now expected and accepted.
All of this has a huge and very real impact on employees and the way they function. It’s no mean feat to constantly adapt to a new change, and just as people start settling, there’s another one waiting for them right around the corner.
With everything that’s changing, so is the requirement of the kind of skills that employees need to THRIVE.
Changing the narrative on soft skills
There’s nothing soft about soft skills. The narrative around soft skills needs to change, and it needs to change now!
Upskilling is not just about staying ahead of the technology curve. While there’s no doubt that technical skills are important, it is the skills related to leadership, collaboration, communication, problem-solving and cognitive growth, that are essential to an employee’s performance.
It’s no surprise then that 74% of respondents think that ‘soft skills’ is an obsolete term.
