The unexpected spread of the covid-19 virus throughout the world, at the beginning of 2019, caused the complete or partial halt of business in the world, and employees are asked to stay at home. However, several businesses have maintained operations based on the idea of working from home (WFH) through the use of internet connectivity (Manickam, 2020). With the implementation of the WFH concept in this pandemic situation, the main problem faced by the employees is the lack of training and development (T&D) (Manickam, 2020).  Employees are preferred to take on more responsibilities and they are expected to enhance current skills and add new skills to meet the current job demand in order to fulfill org...

The growing recognition of the specific significance of human capital development in enterprises has prompted researchers to investigate the link between training techniques and key performance indicators (Tharenou, Saks and Moore, 2007). The ability to utilize present knowledge and information to develop new combinations and modifications is a major source of innovation (Cantner, Joel and Schmidt, 2009). The investments a company makes in training and development establish a culture of continuous learning that encourages people to share their expertise and ideas, supporting the emergence of new knowledge and innovation (Lau and Ngo, 2004).

An Overview Of Acquiring Soft Skills Through Training

Image
Soft skills are self-developed, interactive, communication, human, and transferable talents, whereas hard skills are academic skills, experience, and level of expertise. According to research, hard skills account for only 15% of a person's performance, soft skills account for the remaining 85%  (Wats and Wats, 2009). Academic skills and experience are no longer sufficient for corporate entry and advancement. Employers like to hire and promote self-starters who are resourceful, ethical, and have strong communication and soft skills. Due to a scarcity of soft skills among candidates, companies have a poor hiring rate. Despite the fact that soft skills are extremely important, many business schools are hesitant to include soft skills training in management courses.
