Soft Skills are the non-technical skills that are essential for developing relationships and collaborating effectively with others. These skills are centred around the core inter-personal competencies of listening and communicating, as well as the ability to develop acuity for empathy, understanding and critical thinking.
Soft skills instil harmony among employees, thereby improving productivity, efficiency, and increasing profits. Companies with high levels of soft skills realise better relationships with customers, provide increased levels of job satisfaction and have higher staff retention rates.
Research has shown that the most sought-after soft skills in business are active listening, creativity, influence, persuasion, collaboration, adaptability, and emotional intelligence. Alongside these are the resulting elements of ongoing positivity, motivation, and conflict resolution.
