Spanish term

área laboral

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Human Resources Performance Evaluation
This term seems inaccurate in context.

I am authorized to change anything with the purpose of improving the source text.

The document is a Performance Evaluation form where the incumbent is graded on a scale from 1 to 5:

AREA LABORAL......................1 2 3 4 5
- Orientación al logro
- Iniciativa y proactividad
- Productividad
- Organización
- Relaciones interpersonales
- Trabajo en equipo
Etc.

IMHO, "SKILL" would be the perfect header for this column. What do you think?

Thanks, partner! :D
Elizabeth Medina Aug 3, 2008:
Correct, and these other two terms can be translated as "Intellectual Skills" and "Socio-Affective Skills" (the latter shows up in Google).
María Eugenia Wachtendorff (asker) Aug 3, 2008:
I think David is right, as the form has two more sections: "Área Intelectual" and "Área Socioafectiva."
