In La Fontaine’s fable “The Hare and the Tortoise”, we discover a famous story featuring two animals with different characteristics and approaches to achieving a common goal: winning a race.

It was one day, during a Versus Talent Profile PersProfile certification organized at a client’s premises. Claire*, one of the participants, had just concluded a presentation in front of the entire team. Her work was impeccable, and everyone knew it. However, it was the reaction of her colleague Kevin* that caught everyone’s attention. (*alias).

Here’s the turnover rate in Switzerland, according to the annual labor market report published by the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).

This popular wisdom reminds us never to take our desires for granted. At Versus, we like common-sense expressions, especially when they resonate with our assessment tools, such as PersProfile, JobProfile, JobVision.

I was chatting recently with a skeptic, smiling, who blurts out, “Soft Skills, isn’t that just a fad?” Well, my answer came out like a geyser:

Soft Skills are to a team’s effectiveness what roots are to a tree.

In the professional world, team dynamics are a key success factor. At #VersusTalentProfile, we have developed two essential criteria for assessing this skill in our #PersProfile and #JobProfile tools. These criteria are a sense of belonging and team spirit.
