Does training in soft skills (communication skills, body language, negotiation skills, problem solving, etc.) really help an organization?

This question goes to the heart of what a business is.  Any business involves a group of people coming together to achieve a common goal.  That goal always involves persuading somebody (the customer) to engage with the business to obtain something that is too hard for the customer to obtain by themselves.   In other words, the goal is intrinsically difficult.  (In strategic terms, that is why having clearly goals is very important - it's hard enough to achieve them even if you know what they are.)

Soft skills are necessary for the business to achieve the goal.  People in the business must communicate, negotiate and solve problems to succeed.  The technical skills - those necessary for this particular business - are secondary.

I wouldn't call them "soft" skills at all.  I would call them "primary" skills.

Soft skill training and its benefits

Any kind of training is very essential and soft skill training is more essential because of below mentioned reasons

# It improves process

# It creates positive environment

# It inculcates positive attitude in employees.

# It improves efficiency and productivity.  

# It creates smart organisation with smart people.

So its important for any organisation to ensure soft skills trainings. Which any organisation normally overlooks.

Soft skills such as communication skills, body language, negotiation skills and problem solving are indeed very important to the success of the organization. At the end, individual behavior  and conduct has strong impact on clients as well as colleagues at work. therefore, it is not only important for those dealing with clients and customers but also for all the working staff. From my experience, work usually delayed and hindered by conflicts among employees and unless these employees are aware and capable of communicating to each other, the end result will be effected and the success of the organization will be jeopardized.  

Soft skills training is the important base on which organisations growth depends. if any employee is well skilled with interpersonal skills, communication hold, appropriate body gestures etc then he is helping himself and company grow. it speaks out the talent and knowledge a person pursue. 

Absolutely. All those skills regarded as soft skills has a huge impact on an organization. Most of us think that cut-throat policy is the best but according to me as the saying goes, "Keep your friends close but enemy closer." You have to understand in order to thrive in the competitive market organizations need to be diplomatic with its rival which could further their business as a multinational corporation.  Hence, I truly believe that for fresh graduates; the organization needs to focus solely on their soft-skills. Starting from the small ventures, give them task which they can perform as a practical and fair-minded human being.

• I think soft skills are the main skills for the success of any business or dealing because every deal require communication in any form, without which no task can be achieved or accomplished. Communication skills plays the basis part, body language is sportive to the basic, negotiation skills are for finding balanced results or solution to problems or deals and problem solving finding alternatives and to pick best one to resolve.    

Training on soft skills build the person to face and present himself and his company before the client. Soft skills add to the communcation skills that require co ordination between the various body parts, face value and voice.

Moreover, a confident emloyee is the first face contact between the otganisationa nd the client.

I think soft skills are the main skills for the success of any organisation.

It will give you the background for doing them but the practical experience is quite essential and it depends on your organization some things you may have learned you may not use and other things you will find yourself in need to learn more about them. Nothing you learn is not helpful just aim for the basic common things..

Soft skills training is essential to the success of any business.  This is especially true in a multicultural company and or  when your clients are multicultural.  Certain norms and mannerisms that are acceptable in one culture can be considered rude in another culture.  It is important that staff get training in soft skills for both internal and external clients they interact with.

THESE SKILLS ARE FUNDAMENTAL FOR ANY MANAGERIAL POSITION.

THE HIGHER THE POSITION THE HIGHER THE DEMAND FOR THESE SKILLS.

THEREFORE THE LEVEL OF THE ABOVE SKILL MIX AMONG THE ORGANIZATION"S

PEOPLE IS VERY CRUCIAL FOR THE FUTURE OF THE ORGANIZATION.

This training is very important in an organization. In order for the organization to achieve their goals, their employee must undergo in this kind of training.

Any problem arises within the organization can be resolved as early as possible if the employee equips with these soft skills.
