A study conducted by LinkedIn has established that ‘soft-skilled’ employees get promoted 8% quicker compared to those with only hard skills. The combination of both skill sets accelerates promotion by 13%.
The top five skills facilitating career advancement are:
- Teamwork : +11 %
- Problem-solving skills: +11 %
- Communications: +11 %
- Organizational skills: +11 %
- Leadership skills: +10 %
Consistency also plays a crucial role in this context. Professionals who develop their skills several times a year get promoted 11% faster.
In conclusion, strong soft skills are pivotal for career development. Therefore, the “Yandex Practicum” is offering the mini-course, “Workplace Communication Skills” for anyone purchasing any specialist course until June 30th.
