Overview
FAA has developed a suite of soft skills to meet the future needs of the Financial Services Industry (FSI). These soft skills were developed after extensive research and benchmarking against reputable international institutions.
The purpose of this development is to ensure that current and new employees possess soft skills competencies, for instance, cognitive and emotional competencies, which technology cannot replicate.
The soft skills competency elements are categorised into three clusters:
- Personal - self-awareness, emotional intelligence and creativity
