Did you know the term “soft skills” originated from the U.S. military in the 1960s? It was used to highlight the importance of interpersonal and leadership skills alongside technical expertise, often referred to as “hard skills.” Since then, the term has also been adopted by business and educational sectors, among others.  In his book Hidden Potential, organizational psychologist Adam Grant suggests a more accurate term would be “character skills” – traits such as empathy, integrity and resilience that are crucial for long-term success and growth while also fostering positive relationships and collaboration in the workplace. As more technical skills become automated, we’re curious to know – which character skill or “soft skill” is most difficult to find during the recruitment and hiring process for you? Let us know in the comments below. #SoftSkills #Leadership #CareerDevelopment

Itchy feet? Before you consider making the leap to another employer, check out some of the pros and cons of job-hopping from Altis co-founder and owner Kathryn Tremblay (She/Her): https://lnkd.in/gV8tX5rC As Kathryn says, “everyone’s situation is different,” but regardless of your career stage, she recommends trying to stay in a role long enough to deeply learn and grow as much as possible, so you can “become a bit of an expert before you go.” And if you’re on the fence, she also recommends two exercises to help guide every career decision: creating a dream board (AKA, a vision board) and developing a medium-term professional development plan.

As we approach the end of #PrideMonth, members of our team got the chance to participate in our Kits for Cause program.  We once again partnered with Friends of Ruby, a non-profit organization that supports 2SLGBTQIA+ communities experiencing housing insecurity.🌈 Members of our team got together in our Ottawa and Toronto offices to pack up kits with essential care items and thoughtfully handwritten notes, to support these individuals, many of whom are youths. It’s a great way to foster meaningful connections while giving back to the community. This year, our kits will help 285 young people who identify as part of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities – talk about the power of community and compassion! 🫶 Here at Altis, we’re dedicated to celebrating diversity and inclusion every day of the year and work towards keeping the spirit of pride alive, not only during June but 365 days a year. If your organization is looking to make this a year-round commitment too, here are some of the ways they can do so:  ✅ Offer ongoing learning resources, and ensure they’re accessible  ✅ Create safe spaces to share and time for reflection  ✅ Partner with 2SLGBTQIA+ local businesses to support and uplift marginalized communities Our team is committed to being true allies of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community as we strive to continuously do our part to work toward a world where everyone can live authentically and without fear of discrimination. Did you or your team participate in any pride initiatives?
