21 Most Valuable Career Skills Attract Promotions, Raises
The 21 most valuable career skills advance their practitioners through “know-how that pays off the most at work” in terms of promotions and raises, according to the June 2016 issue of MONEY.
Co-authors Megan Leonhardt, Kerri Anne Renzulli and Cybele Weisser base their identification of the winning skills set upon collaborative research with the compensation data site PayScale.com. The list comes from analyses, carried out through the combined teamwork of MONEY and PayScale.com, of 15,000 job titles for 54 million employees in 350 industries. The analyses determine what skills from a set of 2,300 direct employees of similar age, experience, location and title toward career advancement and pay raise opportunities.
The co-authors explain that “Of course, knowing which skills are in demand is the first step” since “Next, you’ll need to go out and acquire them.”

Thank you for your comment below, Dec. 29, 2023, in answer to my previous, same-day observation.
How appropriately and astutely "Sadly missed" applies to Elementary (and in fact to the other series cancelled before their time: Elementary, Hawaii Five-O with Alex O'Loughlin, Magnum with Jay Hernandez and NCIS: Hawaii).
Rereading the career-skills text in my wizzley above caused me to consider how each one of the above four series communicates entertainment, job and people skills and product lines.
Does not each one emphasize data analysis and field information technology?
The book in fact emphasizes that "All of the 21 most valuable career skills merge to foster fluency in analyzing data, comprehending and predicting losses and profits, and fine-tuning field-specific information technology"!
Sadly missed.
It's sad that Elementary was not continued. Johnny Lee Miller was magnificent as Holmes even as each episode always was educationally entertaining and entertainingly educational.
My brother was not a series-watcher even as he always went for Blakes 7, Elementary, Hawaii Five-O with Alex O'Loughlin (I love the way that the latter always did numbers the Australian/European way of 2 as thumb and first finger, not the Unitedstatesian first and second fingers), Magnum PI with Jay Hernandez and NCIS: Hawai'i.
I Googled When Your Numbers Up - looks interesting.
I went to Christmas lunch with my sister at a local tavern. The staff had come to work to make our day. You can tell when customer service is the name of the game.
Mira, Thank you for your observations.
What I mean by social skills -- to clients, customers and patrons as well as to peers and superiors -- perhaps best is summed up by your insight that "what I feel is falling by the wayside in much of the business world these days is kindness. I learned how to be more gentle from several supervisors in my twenties, but now things are very rushed and many people are struggling just to cope."
In another direction, can you think of non-American-made films that show someone consuming drinks or food at work or in their residence without offering any to guests or passersby? I noticed in the Elementary procedural drama television series -- and in a number of U.S. films -- that's what characters do when they're hiding something or up to no good. For example, the killer in the episode When Your Number's Up pours herself a drink in front of her sister without offering her anything despite the latter being her accountant trying to save her from financial catastrophe.
P.S. In my previous answer I was referring to team building activities, for instance. Some companies pay big bucks for them. But, judging from what I can see around, there are also many companies where there is little time and money for fun and games, especially smaller companies.
Oh, I think they do, but what I feel is falling by the wayside in much of the business world these days is kindness. I learned how to be more gentle from several supervisors in my twenties, but now things are very rushed and many people are struggling just to cope.
Mira, Thank you for the observations. It's interesting how today's most valuable career skills no longer overtly emphasize social and team-playing skills.
In my experience, some job demands these days, with everything changing so fast and people wanting to adapt at a hare's place, place ridiculously big expectations on the employees / workers. Which is fine in your twenties or thirties. But then it becomes too much for too little. But each person is different and sometimes some people do hit the rewards pot.
Derdriu, Thank you I will pass that along.
