This can be incorporated in any HR system in the employee profile so you can list/search and compare employees in case you manage multiple teams and a large number of employees.
On the other hand, soft skills are a bit trickier to measure and assess. This is more subjective; experience and formal training can be an indicator. I've been using https://goverb.com for soft skills and management training; you can pull reports on what training an employee attended. Again, there isn't always a 1:1 correlation; just because someone has been in management training doesn't mean they know how to manage people. I think that soft skills can be learned and can become your second nature if practiced regularly. I measure leadership skills from experience; seeing and observing employees' reactions in difficult situations or when the systems are down tells a lot about them. The employee's feedback tells a lot about managers. I have implemented Gallup-12 questionnaires to assess employee engagement. I don't think there is a simple tool to measure employees' ethics, creativity, resourcefulness, problem-solving, and accountability skills. It is more observational data through direct and indirect observation to answer empirical questions. It's good to have these listed in an annual/semi-annual review so you can track how an employee progresses over various teams and over the years.
