In the initial years of your career, your technical abilities are important to get assignments. However,
when it comes to growing in an organisation, it is your personality that matters, more so in large organisations
where several people with similar technical expertise will compete for a promotion.
Training on soft skills becomes all the more relevant in a country like India where the education system does not
delve into personality development.
"Soft skills’ training is essential because we do not have it in our academic curricula. Therefore, at R systems we
take up the task of grooming employees who are the link between the company and the external world, so that they
are able to present themselves better,” says our Business Excellence head Md. Kalim.
Our behavioural training expert Amit Singh and Amit Kumar say there are several soft skills are
required in these circumstances. Some of them include:
- Interpersonal skills
- Team spirit
- Social grace
- Negotiation skills
- Behavioural traits such as attitude, motivation and time management
