Why Soft Skills?
According to a recent Deloitte Global survey, two-thirds of jobs will be human-intensive by 2030. Teams are adapting and behaviours are shifting. As technology replaces traditional functions we need to set ourselves apart from the machines. In these uncertain times, interpersonal ‘human’ skills are more important than ever.
If you are an organisation which relies on people for success, practical soft skills like these are essential:
- Communication
- Presentation
- Collaboration
- Leadership
Building greater capability in these areas will generate returns in productivity, growth, client focus and staff retention.
Soft Skills, Hard Results
Accenture’s ‘Return on Learning’ program showed investment in training can yield up to a 353% return. Interpersonal skills development has even deeper impacts to support ‘whole person’ wellbeing and effectiveness:
- Confidence: our experiential interpersonal skills build team confidence, enhance performance and drive personal and professional development.
- Collaboration: teams become more confident and creative in their interpersonal style, working more effectively and collaboratively.
- Retention: teams feel happier and healthier as interpersonal skills reduce stress and anxiety levels, leading to higher team loyalty.
- Profile: in a world where we have lost the art of human engagement, an interpersonal team stands out and inspires confidence.
- Efficiency: interpersonal skills lead to active listening, empathy and clarity of message. Research shows this ensures less margin for error and greater returns.
