The growing popularity of soft skills learning among individuals from various walks of life has further proved that possessing hard skills/technical skills alone is not enough to succeed in life-be it in academia, work career, personal relationships or in any domain of life. Soft skills add social value to any business operations as the organizations have become more social these days.

However, there are soft skills gaps among most of the employees in this ever competitive business world even though they are technically sound in their work. Soft skills have often been overlooked in job market as most of the employers are focused on technical skill sets only. This has resulted in high employee turnover and increase in operational costs of organizations. Further, lack of realization of significant impacts of soft skills in the workplace has become costlier for businesses as a result of not being able to recognize the candidates with excellent soft skills.
