Literature Review
Description of the term Transferrable Skills
According to Malik & Setiawan (2015), it can be observed that the Transferrable Skills are
one of the important elements that should be acquired by an employee while working in his
professional spectrum. The Transferrable Skills are relevant and they also accept a huge
range of skills and abilities which are also useful to them in their different spheres of life. On
the other hand, Transferrable Skills are often known as Portable skills. In the professional
recruitments of multinational organizations, the recruitment team or the managers often opt
for the job seekers who have high Transferrable Skills in them. On the other hand,
Sumarwati, Yunos & Ibrahim (2017), has added that the transferable skills can be developed

Identification of the transferrable skills along with its importance
According to Hart (2019), it can be noted that there are many transferable skills that are
adopted by the working professionals for enhancing their performance within the

has explained that leadership and the team management is one of the important Transferrable
Skills that are integrated and accepted by diverse employees and managers in the workplace.
This skill helps the organization in meeting diverse goals with the help of the team
management techniques and skills along with solving problems, resolving conflicts, coaching
others and implementing decisions at the same point of time (Sumarwati, Yunos & Ibrahim,
2017).
As stated by Bolton & Rosselli (2017), it can be noticed that the teamwork ability of the
employees is also one of the core elements of the Transferrable Skills and without the
teamwork, an organization will never grow in the external market phenomenon. Within the
teamwork capability of the employees, they also need to learn the techniques for the effective
