Educable and trainable characteristics of employees are extremely crucial due to the fact that they contribute to the personal development of employees and therefore increase their work performance. Most occupations have as a prerequisite that those who work in it have specific capacities that permit them to do the certain job. These abilities are known as hard or technical skills. In order to learn and acquire these specific abilities people commonly register an educational program where they receive classroom teaching and instruction as well as practical and vocational training. But, apart from the academic qualifications required by employers, the other key element taken into account by recruitment agents is what we call soft skills. These "soft" or "non-academic" skills, are now the key to success that makes the difference. But what exactly is going on?

Soft skills is a term usually used by careers advisors and employers to describe the necessary and basic personal and social skills people must have in order to do most jobs. Soft skills are the personal characteristics and unique skills each of us possess. These qualities have nothing to do with the knowledge someone has on specific issues. They are personal skills, however required by most professional positions. Overall, include our attitudes, personal habits and interpersonal behavior. Soft skills are associated with the development of the personality itself and is not easily quantifiable but qualitatively assessed. Furthermore they are much less tangible than hard or technical skills and on the contrary, people do not learn them by enrolling in a training program.

Nowadays, there is a plethora of candidates with good education and work experience. Enterprises therefore seek people who can make a difference, give a comparative advantage especially in an economic downturn, possess business acumen and have innovative and novel ideas. Soft skills help us do our jobs. They:

Allow to effectively and efficiently use technical skills and knowledge.

Improve the way we interact with our bosses, workmates and customers.

Permit us to get our work done on time. They influence how we feel about our jobs and how others perceive us.

Enable us to build constructive working relationships with others, or to be a constructive and helpful employee.

Create an effective communication and a positive approach to work as well as an effective performance in the workplace.

Include the management of ourselves and our relationships with other people, namely the management of human relations.

Give the capacity to communicate, connect and socialize with other people.

The most important Soft Skills are:

Οrganizational skills

Communication and interpersonal skills

Creativity

Collaborative Skills

Problem solving and Critical Thinking

Leadership Skill

Time management skill

Educational institutions around the world have realized the urgent need to prepare their students for a complex and uncertain society as well as a competitive labour market. They have accepted that soft skills are a considerable privilege for the future employees, although there is still a significant confusion over how soft skills should be defined and implemented. Employers have begun to give priority in behavioural over technical skills, and individuals who have the pertinent soft skills are preferred over those who perhaps have more technical skills. It is then becomes apparent that is absolutely imperative to focus not only on the instruction of technical skills but also on teaching young people how to show up their skills on time, how to work in teams and collaborative and how to take the supervision of their skills.

The Vocational Education and Training (VET) system concentrates on practical as well as personal skills in order to make the most of young people's employability potential. It prepares people for specific trades, crafts and careers at various levels from a trade, a craft, technician, or a high professional practitioner position in a number of different careers. It also raises the quality of training (initial training and continuous development) and aims to the acquisition of education that is more relevant to the labour market.

Therefore, teaching practices concerning the development of soft skills in students of VET education entering the labour market is extremely important. For the existing adult workers, who have specific learning needs, teaching these skills, separately from the technical skills may also be needed. Soft skills units, such as communication, collaboration and time management are the key elements for a successful employee.

The ROI of Honesty in Business

In the majority of businesses, it has become common for a lot of leaders to keep their customers in the dark when there are problems. While they may see this as a beneficial way to keep their clients calm, it can also be seen by others as a "white lie" or "exaggeration of the truth"; which it most likely is. One of the primary reasons that business leaders tend to stretch the truth when it comes to their clients is because they are afraid that they may lose trust and confidence in their work. In the majority of cases, this isn't true. Your clients would much rather have you be honest with them than feed them a line of excuses as to why you haven't met their expectations. I have listed some of the top reasons why honesty is so important in developing and maintaining lasting business relationships.

Trust - When you are straightforward and honest with your customers, you will immediately notice that you are developing a relationship based on trust and respect. The majority of your clients will likely appreciate your honesty when it comes to their business. The trust that you establish at the onset of your business relationship will be used to create the foundation from which your relationship will continue to grow.

Reputation - Your existing clients have the potential to be one of the largest marketing tools you have. When your existing clients have positive experiences and results working with you, they are more likely to recommend your services or products to others. When one of your clients shares how satisfied they are with your service, it can go a long way in establishing a positive business reputation for you and your company.

Positive Feedback - When you present yourself and your company in an honest light, you will likely receive positive feedback from your clients. This type of feedback can then be used to improve your services and provide a higher level of service to your existing and new clients. Positive feedback is one of the most effective tools you can obtain to improve your level of service.

Understanding - If your business provides a service to your clients, and that service is late, your client may begin to question whether or not you are capable of meeting their needs. Rather than keeping your client in the dark, explain to the them the reason behind the delay and they will likely become less impatient and become more understanding of the current situation.

Positive Environment - When you work from a place of honesty, you are more likely to see that your employees are following your lead. They will become more honest with customers, and they will tend to be more honest with you as well. Honesty breeds honesty, if you want to be treated by others in an honest fashion, then you must lead in such a manner. The more honest you and your employees are, the higher the level of transparency you will have in your business.

When you conduct yourself and your business in a manner based on honesty, you will earn the respect, dedication, and repeat business from your clients. Throughout the day you are presented with many opportunities in which you can choose to be honest or tell a "white lie" to satisfy a client. You will likely discover that honesty is always the best choice. Once you begin to depend on "white lies" or "stretching the truth" you may find that it is more difficult to keep track of what you told a client and how to respond to their next inquiry.

As a rule, you should always remember that you should treat your clients in the same manner in which you would like to be treated. If you would not like to be given the runaround when you ask someone you're doing business with where your products are, then you probably shouldn't treat your clients in the same way. Honesty is much more appreciated in business than anything else. It has the potential to expand your business, increase your positive reputation in the community, and help you create a positive brand image.

If you value your clients, and your business reputation, then you should only work from a place of honesty. Once you have lost the trust of your clients, it may be impossible to salvage that relationship. To avoid damaging positive and profitable relationships, always be honest and upfront whenever there is a problem related to the needs of your clients, they will thank you, and you will be rewarded with a positive business reputation.
