As the world fills with more sophisticated AI and ubiquitous technology, human skills--compassion, empathy, etc.--will define the competitive edge of workers and entire organizations. So those interested in thriving in a high-tech world must put renewed prioritization on emotional intelligence and soft skills.
Soft skills represent the top three missing skills of job applicants according to the Society of Human Resource Management's (SHRM) 2019 State of the Workplace.
Top 6 Missing Skills in Job Applicants
Problem-solving, critical thinking, innovation, and creativity (37 percent)
Ability to deal with complexity and ambiguity (32 percent)
Communication (31 percent)
Trade skills (carpentry, plumbing, welding, machining, etc.) (31 percent)
Data analysis / Data science (20 percent)
Science / Engineering / Medical (18 percent)
The significance of developing and applying social and emotional skills is growing. Soft skills are twice as predictive of a student's academic achievement as home environment and demographics and 30-40 percent of jobs in growth industries require soft skills. Additionally, 57 percent of leaders say soft skills are more important than hard skills.
