Turn Soft Skills into a Competitive Advantage with Write for Business
The Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) identified HR's “hard challenge” with “soft skills”:
“Soft skills—which are needed to effectively communicate, problem-solve, collaborate and organize—are becoming more important for success as the workplace evolves socially and technologically. The rub is that recruiters and employment experts report a ‘soft skills gap,’ especially among young workers more accustomed to texting than talking, that forces organizations to hire many candidates who fall short on interpersonal abilities.”
