"human relations" - note plural. "Problem-solving" Possiblt "IT competence" rather than "computer operations".
I also question the need for "efficient" - "skills" on its own would be fine, adding "efficient" would be gilding the lily and might mark you as a non-native speaker of British English.

Problem solving is two words, not a hyphenated word. Too many people try to hyphenate $#it that doesn't need hyphens.
Yes, it's human relations. Then again, it's also English communications and computer operations.

You shouldn't ever put a hyphen in it, if it sounds weird in the sentence then its probably better to say "solving problems" instead of "problem solving"
Also - yes, it's human relations. There is more than one relation so it's plural.
