Abstract

In the globalization era, transferable skills are highly demanded in human resource management. This study aimed to understand what kinds of transferable skills were acquired for employment in Indonesia and how Indonesian managers maintained transferable skills for their employee development. Thus, a qualitative method was applied to figure out the nature of this study with a setting in Surabaya East Java. Questionnaires were distributed to two hundred employees within three national companies, and interviews were conducted with five managers in the same companies. As a result, the participants identified transferable skills as communication skills, numeric skills, teamwork, negotiation, computer and digital skills, planning and problem-solving, time management, critical thinking, and influencing skills. While the managers confirmed the demand for transferable skills and technical skills for employment selection, office routines, and job rotation. The managers also emphasized the importance of communication that assisted to elevate other transferable skills for employment development.
