Developing ‘Power Skills’ in the workplace
There is no hard and fast way to develop power skills. While employees need to invest time and resources in developing their power skills on their own in order to maintain competitiveness in the job market, from the organization perspective the HR department can provide the necessary support to the workforce to improve their power skills through personalized training programs. The most popular methods for training power skills within an organization include:
- Professional coaching (individual and/or group)
- Employee resource groups
- Mentorship programs
- Continuous training and development programs
While the above methods can be used individually, a combination of all of the above can be utilized to help your workforce acquire the necessary skills to go above and beyond in their job roles in a comprehensive manner. Additionally, providing this training across all levels of the organization also demonstrates the dedication to both the organization's and each team member's development which will in return benefit your company culture, recruitment, and retention - read more about the impact of training on a company in our recent blog post here. Therefore, investment in training and development of technical skills and power skills of your employees will allow your organization to stand out from the competition by assisting in the development of the next generation of leaders and innovators who will shape the future of your industry.
