Trend # 2 - Soft Skill Training
Whilst no one denies the importance of hard, technical skills in any organisation, developing the behavioural soft skills ensures corporate competitiveness and improves employee retention, leadership and assists in building a meaningful culture - all critical elements in any highly competitive labour market. Gaps in behavioural soft skills, such as communication, agile thinking, flexibility, adaptability, creativity, collaboration, change and conflict management; exist across all roles and nearly all functions with behavioural soft skills dominating the list of core competencies that executives are seeking from employees.
TSC's training programmes, at their core, approach corporate training with behavioural soft skill development in mind. Our market leading follow-up and mentoring programmes are positioned to enable the required behavioural change to develop the soft skills to enhance employee retention whilst creating organisational competitive advantage.
2020's Corporate training trend #3 - Microlearning - will be discussed in our next article release in 2 weeks.
