When it comes to promotions, people who list their soft skills as well as their hard skills on LinkedIn are promoted eight percent faster than those who only listed hard skills.
Additionally, employees who added new skills on a quarterly basis were promoted 11% faster than those who did it intermittently, according to a LinkedIn report.
“For talent professionals, that’s a good reminder that these soft skills should be a serious part of your hiring criteria,” the researchers write. “It’s also a call to action for companies to help employees develop these particular skills.”
