Event Details

Organizations have to move faster than ever. Getting organizations to move fast means your systems must function smoothly, without friction. And when it comes to creating value, there’s no more important system than our people systems. Because businesses don’t create value, people do. 

But how do you remove friction from our people systems? How do you get our people systems to function more smoothly to produce more value? It all comes down to learning how to optimize around soft skills. If hard skills are like the cogs in the machine, then soft skills are like the oil that makes those cogs work together smoothly. If you have all of one, but none of the other, the system will break down. 

In this program, Rusty Lindquist of BambooHR and Michelle Reed of SkillSurvey break down the difference between hard skills and soft skills. You’ll walk away with a solid understanding of not just what soft skills are, but why they’re so important today. You will also get a practical checklist for making soft-skills optimization a part of your HR processes.
