Webinar Recap: Detoxifying Work Cultures with Soft Skills
As society is cementing itself into a skills-based economy, we’ll explore soft skills within the current context of the workplace. Lack of soft skills in individuals is the foundation for toxic workplace culture; poor communication being the biggest culprit. Understanding and being aware of soft skills within teams and individuals is the cornerstone for building great cultures and successful organizations. Underrepresented employees like older employees or employees of color are often victims of toxic workplace cultures and our panel discussion will address current issues and potential solutions underrepresented employees as well as companies can take.
With over 40+ different soft skills, ranging from communication to cultural sensitivity, it can be quite overwhelming to incorporate soft skills as a daily best practice. Fundamentally, we will cover the importance of soft skills to help you develop a keen eye for people. Understanding soft skills will not only help you easily navigate the workplace by understanding the idiosyncrasies of how people function, but it will also help you develop and foster leadership and management skills.
