Success in the workplace depends on communication skills, flexibility, time management, problem solving skills, taking initiative, and the ability to be open to
feedback. These skills are known as “soft skills” and relate to the way employees interact and relate with other people (their employer in particular). It is important that we understand the social elements of our job. Most people have a built-in “social radar” to help figure out the “hidden rules” of social situations across the work day. Some of us, however, do not understand those “gotta-have” social skills needed to do better socially, and advance professionally, in the workplace.

• A positive attitude
• Working as part of a team
• Flexibility and adaptability
• Critical thinking and problem solving • Openness and receptivity to feedback • Taking initiative effectively
• Effective communication
• Empathy
