“…A skill is a demonstrable ability to apply knowledge and experience at work, study and in personal development. Soft skills include communication (both written and oral), critical and strategic thinking, willingness to learn and accept responsibility ( Andrews & Higson, 2008 ; Varela, 2020 ), empathy and problem-solving ( Tsaoussi, 2020 ), teamwork and personal development ( Losekoot et al, 2018 ), creativity ( Chassidim et al, 2018 ), leadership, self-management and time management skills ( Devedzic et al, 2018 ; Wickens & Norris, 2018 ), and (occasionally) professionalism, reliability, ability to cope with uncertainty, and work under pressure ( Andrews & Higson, 2008 ).

Objective The aim of the study was to verify if soft-skills training is an effective intervention in reducing work-related stress among miners, that is, people who run the risk of losing health and/or life due to unpredictable natural forces or human error at work. Background The motivation for the intervention was based on Job Demands-Resources model where soft skills are job resources that help individuals to cope with or prevent high demands of the environment. The needed skills as well as work demands were first investigated and then a custom training was developed. The rationale for introducing soft-skills training into the work environment can be seen as compatible with the Human Capital Model (HCM) which is designed to stimulate positive organizational behaviour by providing an effective approach to ensure employees’ adequate coping with work-related stress. Method 96 volunteer employees were assigned to intervention (n = 48) and comparison (n = 48) groups. 16-hour tailored training covered tasks and simulation games related to communication, teambuilding, self-management and conflict resolution skills. Job Content Questionnaire, Occupational Stress Indicator (modified to fit the mining environment) and General Health Questionnaire were used in the study. A MANOVA with effect-size measures was conducted. Results Results revealed a significant increase in decision latitude and social support for the trainees. A substantial decrease in stress was also observed, along with a significant decrease in general health problems. There were no such changes in the comparison group. Conclusions A soft-skills training, including communication, teamwork, self-motivation and conflict-resolution skills, helped participants to cope better with the stressful environment and improved their mental health. These effects lasted three months later. Application The intervention improved miners’ psychosocial health and the strategies of coping with stress, which increased safety and health in the company. Investigating the effectiveness of such interventions included in the general Human Capital Model, as it was done in the study, might be a step forward towards building an interdisciplinary approach for health and safety and human resources.
