activeTD - "Soft Skills" training specialist

“Soft Skills” can increase productivity by up to 22.5 minutes per person per day.

The skills that successful firms are looking for in their employees already reflect the demands of a highly competitive environment, the rapid pace of technological change and more discerning customers. They are demanding higher levels of skills, frequent updating of skills and excellent ‘soft’ as well as technical skills.

“…high level communication skills, the ability to work in a team and to manage and motivate others, the willingness and ability to understand and model firm values and culture, the willingness and ability to learn, the right ‘attitude’ and problem solving skills. (p 22)

“…employers identified several key ‘soft’ skills as high priorities for improvement. In particular, improvement in ‘an ability to use initiative’, ‘oral communication skills’, ‘a professional approach to work’ and ‘problem solving skills’ were all rated as higher priorities for improvement than ‘practical job skills’ (p 48)”
