Soft Skills for Corporate Advancement

As observed by HR experts, Soft Skills are a combination of “people skills, social skills, communication skills, character or personality traits, attitudes, career attributes, social intelligence and emotional intelligence quotients”, among others that enable people to navigate their environment, work well with others, perform well to achieve their goals. We believe that when properly inculcated, this competency has potential to significantly propel performance in the workplace because of application of the powers imbedded in its awareness. In addition, the delivery incorporates a session that will put forward various industry codes including those developed in the organization but may not have been well assimilated.
