Some businesses find that their new employees lack basic interpersonal skills such as cooperative skills. What are the causes? Suggest possible solutions.
Interpersonal
skills
are of paramount importance for building relationships both personally and professionally.It is of greater value when running a business however
businesses
nowadays find that their new employees
lack such
basic skills
. This
essay will analyse various factors such
as the role of education
and the impact of sales-driven mentality which contribute to the lack of interpersonal skills
.
Firstly
, our education
system
focuses on performing better academically rather than emphasizing the growth of our personality. For instance
, the grading system
is heavily dependent on grading one's tests and assignments and no importance is given to the refinement of interpersonal skills
. With students wanting to perform better often they end up applying what they have been taught in school/college rather than understanding the customers need and communicating with them.With a lack of experience , new employees
don't figure out how these skills
play a crucial role in the real world. An internship where the new employees
could be shadowing experienced ones can help mitigate this
problem.Industry exposure should be given equal weightage as much as academic performance.
In addition
, new employees
have this
mentality to prove their mettle by displaying the great sales numbers
they have achieved. For example
, most of the employees
like to mention the sale improvement numbers
on their resumes and profiles. In this
race of achieving numbers
, they forget how important it is to understand other people and work on their interpersonal skills
. For this
, it is important for businesses
to highlight and train new employees
with these values. Helping new employees
understand the relevance of such
skills
will help solve the problem.
In the nutshell ,interpersonal skills
are of great importance both professionally and personally . However
, with prevalent problems in the education
system
and employee's mindset of achieving numbers
, some businesses
find new employees
lacking these skills
.I suggest that internship and industrial exposure should be part of our education
system
. Also
, proper training by these businesses
can help mitigate this
problem.Submitted by cchetnakaul on
