Letter from the Lead Navigator  

Thanks for your outstanding performance!

 

I am always on the lookout for unsung heroes -- exceptional people who go out of their way to do an amazing job at work.  I had one of those experiences on a parking lot shuttle bus on the way to Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport. 


You don't expect to meet an unsung hero driving a bus, but this was the exception.  I will never forget Rhonda and the impression she made on me and my fellow passengers.

 

See the YouTube video to hear the entire story.

Soft Skills Are Essential For A Lasting Career

There are certain skills that you must possess to succeed in the career you have chosen. Soft skills are at the top of the list. You can have all the right hard skills in the world, but if you do not know how to relate to others, you are sure to fail. Let's take a look at how developing soft skills will benefit you long term.

What Are Soft Skills?

First, we need to define what soft skills are. This includes personality traits, character and other emotions that will help an individual socialize with others. It is also the ability to interact with others in an effective and harmonious way. Surely you know that person that everyone just loves because they know exactly how to work a crowd.

Soft skills are a bit more than just schmoozing those around you. They are understanding how to communicate with others in a way that brings unity to the group. Employers are looking for team players. Those with soft skills are able to work alongside others and resolve issues.

Why Are People Skills Important?

Having the ability to socialize with others is an important part of life. Some feel that this is not an important part of the workplace. However, soft skills are what makes you a part of a team. Also, soft skills are part of developing leadership.

Communication is another successful soft skill. Being a good communicator to those around you is a highly important part of being successful.

Another part of soft skills is the ability to adapt to changes in the job. Changes will happen in your job. It is vital to be able to go with the flow in order to reach your career goals.

Building A Good Reputation Through Soft Skills

The ability to communicate and socialize with others will help you to build a good reputation with others. When others understand your character and know you to be an upstanding individual, it will give you the opportunities you need to grow.

Many college graduates are entering the workforce without possessing the soft skills that are essential for them to succeed. Keeping these types of skills at the forefront of your skillset is vital to building a lasting career.t

Assessments In The Workplace

Giving potential employees a behavioral profile, sometimes called a personality assessment, is an important part of the hiring process. One thing hiring managers fail to realize, is that the assessment is not the only piece of criteria you should consider. This is to aid you in the hiring process. However, if it is not administered with the right mindset, it could potentially damage your business.

Behavioral Profile Assessments Can Help Your Business

The purpose of these types of assessments is to give you an idea of the kind of behavior you can expect out of an individual in the role you are hiring for. Certain personality types do better in different job environments.

Not everyone will make a good salesperson or office person. The same could be said about any job. To figure out who will best suit your position, an assessment can give you a good indication of the best personality/behavior.

When you administer this assessment and use it as an aid, it can be very beneficial to you. It will help you make a wiser decision when hiring someone to complete your team.

Behavioral Profile Assessments in the Workplace Can Harm Your Company

Unfortunately, these assessments can harm your company if you are not careful. It is important that you remind yourself that this is only one part of the hiring process. You should still look at other characteristics and abilities of the individual to make the best decision.

Some businesses put themselves at risk for disparate impact on potential employees. This is where you unintentionally discriminate against someone. Administering assessments is a fair practice.

However, the business needs to make certain they are using a company to provide the assessment. Particularly one that has conducted adverse impact studies. These studies should have complied with federal mandates and regulations.

Not sure if your assessment company did their research? Ask them about it. Those that have done their research will be able to provide you with a copy of their findings. Make sure you take a good look over what was discovered. You do not want to put your business at risk of disparate impact when hiring employees or awarding advancements.

There is no doubt that workplace assessments are vital to running a business. Be sure that you use it as a resource and not the deciding factor to decisions. Also, use a company that has done their research. Be sure you keep your company from being held liable in disparate impact cases. t
