Soft skills are important skills to possess regardless of where you are in your professional career. Soft skills give you a solid base to establish yourself as an exemplary employee, colleague, manager or boss. In this article, we provide a guide to the variety of soft skills found in the workplace.

What are soft skills?

Soft skills are skills related to communication, personality traits, social cues and more. Qualities like empathy and listening skills fall under this category. Soft skills indicate how a person relates and works with others. While a person can learn hard skills like HTML code, soft skills are more innate. Much like emotions or a keen perception, soft skills are qualities a person already has, and the more fine-tuned these skills are, the better the person holding these traits will be at understanding people.

Accordingly, employers prioritize soft skills as much as hard skills in their employees. In one way or another, employees must interact with each other, and the more soft skills that are present, the easier it will be to create a harmonious work environment. For example, you may be a great engineer, but if you cannot communicate effectively with the rest of the team, then problems are likely to arise.

Employers also favor soft skills because they are transferable skills. This means that as an employee, you will be better at adapting to change. For example, a cashier with excellent people skills will adapt far more quickly when given the role of floor manager than one who lacks empathy and great communication skills.

Hard skills are important to do your job well, but with excellent soft skills, you are bringing positive and productive traits to your work environment.

Examples of soft skills

While they may not be as evident as hard skills, soft skills are important and come in a variety of forms. The following are common soft skills employers look for:

1. Communication skills

Communication is a key skill for employees as it ensures effective teamwork, creates a more positive environment and helps to solve issues. In some jobs, communication plays a huge role, such as in human resources, management and sales. Examples of communication skills include:

2. Adaptability skills

Being adaptable and flexible is an important soft skill. Employers want to see their team being open and embracing change. This is especially important in a busy work environment where things change quickly. Examples of adaptability skills include:

3. Team player skills

Employers want to see their employees excel at teamwork to create a better operating work environment. There are jobs where teamwork is vital to success, such as brand management, marketing, catering and architecture. Examples of team player skills include:

4. Detail-oriented skills

Being accurate and a perfectionist in your work is also key for employers. While these skills are always important, some roles may benefit from these skills more, such as roles in finance, medicine and architecture. Examples of detail-oriented skills include:

5. Problem-solving skills

Finding effective solutions for work-related problems is a huge asset, as employers want to see you solving issues and keeping the organization moving forward. Some roles require problem-solving skills more than others, such as those related to law, medicine and engineering. Examples of problem-solving skills include:

6. Work-ethic skills

Possessing a great work ethic is another soft skill that is valued by employers. Roles that thrive on a good work ethic include entrepreneurs and teachers. Examples of work-ethic skills include:

7. Creativity skills

Creativity comes in different forms, but the end result is usually an innovative solution for the organization. Roles that require a great deal of creativity include writers, designers and stylists. Examples of creativity skills include:

8. Time-management skills

This soft skill will show employers your ability to be productive in the time you have. Some roles thrive on this skill, such as writing jobs and legal jobs, because they usually involve several deadlines. Examples of time-management skills include:

9. Interpersonal skills

Interpersonal skills are the skills you use to interact with the people around you, including your colleagues and employers. These skills are important in all roles but especially in jobs where you work closely with other people constantly, such as in sales or customer service. Examples of interpersonal skills include:

10. Leadership skills

Leadership skills give you the ability to lead others well to reach the goals of the organization. Some roles where this skill is of greater importance are those in management, business and teaching. Examples of leadership skills include:

How to improve soft skills

Soft skills are innate qualities that you develop over time, but you can improve your soft skills to become both a better colleague and employee. Follow these steps to improve your soft skills:

1. Identify them

First, identify where your strengths and weaknesses are when it comes to soft skills. To do this, you should:

Become self-aware so you can detect the area or areas you are lacking in

Go through the former soft skills examples and make a list of the ones you practice and the ones you don't really use

Ask a trusted friend, family member or former employer to tell you about the soft skills they see in you

2. Ask for feedback

Once you have a list of soft skills that you want to improve on, you can start practicing them in your day to day life. Consider asking for feedback from colleagues or your manager. If they do share feedback, listen without being defensive and be open to their suggestions.

3. Hire a coach

A great life coach can help you work on your soft skills for effective results. Before hiring a coach, consider the following:

You should connect with your coach

Your coach should also have a coach (It is important that coaches are also working on themselves)

Your coach should be qualified and professional

After this self-evaluation, it's time to get someone you trust to help you improve your soft skills by practicing them. Ask your coach to give you constructive feedback so you can improve with time and practice.

Soft skills in the workplace

Other soft skills found in the workplace include:

How to highlight soft skills

Soft skills are more difficult to see than hard skills, so it is important to tell an employer the soft skills you can bring to the job when writing your cover letter, in your resume and during the job interview.
First, make a list of your soft skills. Then, see which of these soft skills are also mentioned in the job description. Make sure you bring up any of your skill qualifications to the employer, as well as a few more skills you think will help you excel in the position.

The following are ways you can highlight your list of soft skills:

1. Soft skills for your resume

You can list your soft skills in either your summary paragraph or in your achievements section of your resume. Use numbers to describe your soft skills achievements, just as you would for hard skills.

Example: "Created an innovative mentorship program to support 17 new mothers in the workplace, enhanced the company culture and lowered turnover by 25%."

2. Soft skills for your cover letter

For your cover letter, pick your three strongest soft skills and use one to two stories from previous positions to highlight your skills.

Example: "As the lead writer for the marketing department, I not only came up with creative and compelling text for the brand but also managed a team of five junior writers to develop copy for the organization by conducting brainstorming sessions, encouraging imagination and creating a safe environment for the writers to experiment in their work."

3. Soft skills for the job interview

In the case of a job interview, you should mention soft skills whenever you have the opportunity. There is no need to wait for the interviewer to ask you directly about your soft skills.

Example: If you are asked about the day-to-day management of the factory you worked in as a factory engineer, you can add a number of soft skills. "My day-to-day at Key Inc. involved managing a team of technicians who were responsible for keeping the factory line moving and keeping production on schedule. I would also schedule shifts for the technicians and create maintenance schedules for weekly, biweekly and monthly tasks."

📝 Workshop Task: The "Solitude vs Loneliness" Inventory

# data[].attributes.subject
📝 Workshop Task: The "Solitude vs Loneliness" Inventory

# data[].attributes.body
Goal: To help you identify the difference between healthy time spent by yourself (Solitude) and the difficult feeling of being disconnected (Loneliness).

Step 1: Create Your Inventory

On a blank sheet of paper, draw a line down the middle to create two columns. Label them Solitude and Loneliness.

Under Solitude: List things you do alone that make you feel refreshed, creative, or peaceful.

Examples: Reading, gaming, listening to music, or going for a walk.

Under Loneliness: List situations where you feel isolated, misunderstood, or "lonely in a crowd."

Examples: Scrolling social media late at night, or being at a party where you don't feel like you belong.

Step 2: Build Your "Bridge"

In the space between your two columns, draw a Bridge. On this bridge, write down three small, low-pressure actions you can take to move away from the "Loneliness" side and back towards connection or healthy "Solitude."

Bridge Examples: * Messaging one trusted friend just to say "hello."

Putting your phone in another room to focus on a hobby you enjoy.

Going to a public space, like a library or a café, just to be around the hum of other people.

Step 3: Group Discussion (The Safety Net)

In small groups, discuss the following two questions. Remember, you don't have to share anything from your personal inventory that you wish to keep private.

1. The Social Media Trap: Why do you think social media often feels like it belongs in the "Loneliness" column rather than the "Solitude" column?

2. The Green Flag: What is one "Green Flag" (a positive trait) in a friend that makes you feel seen and less lonely when you talk to them?

# data[].attributes.body
Goal: To help you visualise your personal boundaries and decide who gets access to your "Body, Mind, and Information."

Step 1: Map Your Zones

On your paper, draw a large "bullseye" with three circles. Label them as follows:

1. The Inner Circle (The Vault): This is for the most trusted people in your life—those who have earned full access. (It can also just be for you).

2. The Middle Circle (The Porch): This is for close friends, family, or colleagues you like. They are "on the property," but they don't have a key to the house yet.

3. The Outer Circle (The Public Square): This is for acquaintances, new classmates, social media followers, or people you’ve just met.

Step 2: Assign Access

Look at the list of "Sharing Items" below. Decide which circle each item belongs in for you personally. Write the item in the corresponding circle on your map.

Knowing my real-time GPS location on my phone.

Seeing photos of me in a private or vulnerable setting.

Borrowing my laptop or personal devices.

Knowing the details of my mental health or family struggles.

Giving me a hug without asking first.

Borrowing £20 and promising to pay it back next week.

Knowing my home address.

Step 3: The "Boundary Shift" Analysis

Boundaries aren't static—they change based on how people behave. Reflect on these two scenarios:

The Red Flag Demotion: If someone in your Middle Circle starts demanding you reply to their WhatsApps within 30 seconds and gets angry if you don't, should they stay in the Middle Circle? Or do they belong in the Public Square?

The Consent Leap: How does it feel when someone in the Public Square (an acquaintance) asks a question that belongs in the Vault (the Inner Circle)? That "awkward" feeling is your brain telling you a boundary has been crossed.

Is loneliness a mental health problem?

Feeling lonely isn't a mental health problem. But having a mental health problem can increase feelings of loneliness. For example, if you’re struggling with your mental health, you may:

Avoid social events and activities you usually enjoy

Have low self-esteem

Find it hard to try new things and worry about engaging with others

Find it difficult to speak to people about how you’re feeling, for fear of stigma or not being understood

Feel like you could be a burden to others

Feel overwhelmed in busy public places, or at work events and parties

Social care

While there is no legal solution to loneliness, there may be ways in which the law can help you if you have needs for care and support.

The Care Act 2014 in England and the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 in Wales place general obligations on local authorities to promote wellbeing and to prevent social care needs from arising.

They also contain specific duties for local authorities to help individuals. See our pages on health and social care rights for more information. You can also contact Mind's Legal Line with your specific enquiry.

What are the 5 types of boundaries?

Within your relationships, you need more than one or two boundaries. No single boundary can encompass all your needs. As you begin prioritizing your comfort and ability to function as an independent human, think about the 5 kinds of relationship boundaries below.

1. Emotional boundaries

Emotional boundaries have to do with being clear on what is and isn't yours to feel or fix. Your emotions and emotional well-being are within your control regardless of what is happening for the other person. These boundaries help us show empathy without absorbing the other person’s feelings.

At work, emotional boundaries can be played out when you listen to a peer's difficulties with their manager. An emotional boundary looks like not being obliged to also be mad at the manager or drawn into the other person’s frustration.

As a parent, emotional boundaries can mean not letting your own mood be contingent on the mood of your teenager. Even though you want them to be happy, you can separate yourself and have your own feelings. Another emotional boundary can be not getting upset when your partner doesn't follow you into a spiral of despair when watching the news.

Ultimately, emotional boundaries in relationships are about maintaining our individuality. We all have our own thoughts and feelings, and can care about each other without losing our sense of self.

2. Intellectual boundaries

Everyone has different beliefs, ideas, and values. Intellectual boundaries help us respect one another's different viewpoints. This is important so that you don’t expect people in your relationships to share all of your opinions or adopt all of your views. Even if you disagree with your coworkers or loved ones, you still need to be able to share your opinions and feelings.

This isn’t so much worrying about whether your opposing view hurts another person’s feelings. It’s more about respecting their right to hold their own opinions, whether about politics or a marketing strategy.

Intellectual boundaries can also help you feel more secure in holding your own opinions. Instead of trying to be liked by everyone by agreeing with them, you can remain true to yourself.

You may need intellectual boundaries if your differences lead to arguments and insults. Do you feel personally attacked or offended when the other person disagrees with you? Does the other party? Is it about any difference or just certain topics?

Reconsider why you or the other person feels so threatened. From there, establish intellectual boundaries that allow you both to feel your viewpoints are valued.

3.Physical boundaries

Physical boundaries are an important type of relationship boundary. We all have different levels of comfort when it comes to physical touch — some people may be comfortable with hugs in the workplace, for example. Others may not appreciate physical touch in this context.

Speaking up about your physical boundaries at work or with your friends is important. Even if others can’t understand your boundaries, you have a right to do what makes you comfortable. Make sure you give your friends and coworkers space to voice their personal limits, too.

4. Financial boundaries

Conversations about money can be tough, but we all know they’re needed. You probably already talk about money with your partner — maybe you have joint accounts or are saving for a vacation. However, money is also a factor in other relationships.

If your friends constantly choose expensive restaurants, for example, you may need to set a boundary about what you’re willing to spend. The same goes for coworkers who ask you to join them for lunch or happy hours. Consider what your financial goals are, and be ready to share your relationship boundaries for this area.

5. Sexual boundaries

When it comes to physical intimacy, sexual boundaries shouldn’t be ignored. Discussing what's off-limits and what kind of contact you prefer is needed to develop a trusting relationship. Setting sexual boundaries also includes prioritizing consent.
