Soft skills such as communication, collaboration, and relationship building are becoming increasingly important for workforces. While employees may have strong technical skills, many lack soft skills like teamwork, leadership, and communication. This can create a "soft skills gap" where organizations are unable to fully capitalize on their employees' expertise. In order to close this gap, companies should evaluate employees' interpersonal skills and encourage soft skills development through training programs focused on listening, conflict resolution, and relationship building. A proposed 30-hour soft skills enhancement program would address this need through activity-based workshops or regular sessions using multimedia and interactions.

The acts of listening, presenting ideas, resolving conflict, and fostering an open and honest work environment all come down to knowing how to build and maintain relationships with people. It is those relationships that allow people to participate fully in team projects, show appreciation for others, and enlist support for their projects. It is important for you to recognize the vital role soft skills play within your team and not only work on developing them within yourself, but encourage their development throughout the organization.
