How can companies effectively measure the progress and improvement of their employees' soft skills outside of formal training sessions, and what strategies can be implemented to track and enhance their development over time?

Companies can effectively measure the progress and improvement of their employees' soft skills by implementing regular performance evaluations, soliciting feedback from colleagues and clients, and utilizing self-assessment tools. To track and enhance soft skills development over time, companies can set clear goals and expectations, provide opportunities for employees to practice and receive feedback on their skills, offer ongoing training and development programs, and create a culture that values and rewards continuous improvement in soft skills. Additionally, using technology such as surveys and assessments can help gather data on employees' soft skills proficiency and progress.
