Why essential skills are the secret to a healthy workplace

In this recent article published by Forbes, essential skills were highlighted to be the 'secret sauce' of reconnecting us as we get back to the workplace.

The past eighteen months have brought separation and disconnect between so many of us, and in order to create a harmonious, connected and positive workplace, managers must make use of essential skills such as Listening, Leadership and Staying Positive to bring their teams together.

The article underlines that essential skills make all the difference in creating a 'humane, highly functional and healthy workplace.'

If managers are to empower successful teams, it is vital that they make their teams feel supported, provide a clear line of communication and work with a positive approach to new challenges.
