SOFT SKILLS AND HUMAN RESOURCES: HOW TO ENHANCE THEM IN YOUR COMPANY?

Soft Skills are a fundamental part of any company, and although it has always been thought that Hard Skills were the really important abilities, in recent years it has become clear that without Soft Skills, work teams cannot function properly.

Likewise, from human resources we have to take into account that especially in 2021 we need specific Soft Skills to adapt to the current situation and to achieve our business objectives. That is why it is so important to know how to strengthen the Soft Skills of each employee, so that, even at a distance, we can have good communication and that there will be no problems in teamwork.

Not sure how to develop them? Don’t worry, they can be trained without problems as long as you know where to focus your attention and choose the Soft Skills course that best suits your employees.

Identify the Soft Skills that are present in your company

Have you ever wondered what Soft Skills are in your company or which ones you can apply to manage a happy team? In order to determine this there are different techniques that can help you to observe the dynamics of your employees and the Soft Skills in which they excel the most or put into practice the least:

• References from previous jobs: Based on their work experience you will be able to see if they have had more tendency to develop some soft skills or others.
• Aptitude and personality tests: These tools are very useful to quantify the Soft Skills that a worker has, but bear in mind that you should not take them as the “pure truth” as it is very easy to lie in these tests.
• Individual and group interviews: This is the easiest and quickest way to get to know a person and their attitude towards the work group. You can use them to go deeper into certain topics.
• Socializing: Seeing how they behave during breaks, lunch or outside the office will give you an idea of whether they are an open person or if their way of being suits the business environment.

Red Flags: How do I spot them?

There are times when we can detect that a worker does not interact with his colleagues, that he may have had some problems when doing his job or that other employees have had problems with him. It is very important to be able to detect these signs as they can be the beginning of a bad working environment. It can also lead to work not being done properly and projects falling behind schedule.

How can I enhance the Soft Skills in my employees?
