Organizations are focused on helping employees improve their interpersonal communication skills to foster effective, real-world interactions and build more resilient leaders and collaborative teams.

Based on strong customer adoption and to further enhance the learning experience, Skillsoft is unveiling multiple new CAISY features including:

• CAISY for You: Highly customized scenarios blending practice and role modeling help employees develop skills tailored to their organization’s key needs and use cases.
• 60+ new learning scenarios: Expanded collection of scenarios spanning leadership, risk, and technology topics – ranging from “Handling a Report of Harassment” to “Discussing Compensation” – prepares employees to successfully navigate a wide range of common, yet complex workplace challenges.

“The increasing intricacies of work, unpredictability of social interactions, and pace at which key decisions need to be made are putting a strain on the workforce like never before. This demands innovative training methods that help employees build essential communication skills needed to lead through challenging circumstances with competence and confidence,” said Apratim Purakayastha, GM, Enterprise Solutions, Chief Product & Technology Officer, Skillsoft. “Upskilling creates prepared, resilient employees, and CAISY and our broader suite of AI-powered solutions are the new frontier of interactive learning.
