Psychological consulting

Listen to your people - and respect their preferences
Be empathetic. For example, if they say they need easier access to quiet time, take it seriously. This is how you help your employees stay involved in their role and in your organization.

Find out who works best from home
This experiment demonstrates a huge increase in the productivity of people working from home. Flexibility and experimentation are key. Don't force the same model on everyone.

Create quiet spaces - with the participation of those who need them

Our study with office furniture manufacturers found that while no one supports open-plan offices 100%, people who prefer introversion are less happy with it. Previous research has shown that when an employee's personality matches the nature of their work environment, they are more likely to report less anxiety and physical discomfort. They are also likely to report greater job satisfaction and social support. It has been suggested that the modern office is "designed for extroverts" and may be toxic to people who prefer introversion.

Create quiet zones. To avoid bias, get input from those who prefer introversion. Use this quick guide to personality and workspace for ideas. It tells you what different types respond to based on our research.

Why not promote office time as social time? Find a day or half a day, for example, every week when more or more people come to the office. Then reformulate it. Encourage your introverted employees to organize their workload so that there is no head-down work in the office. Then distractions cause less stress. It also prevents the extraversion/introversion separation at work.

The world of work has changed a lot since the pandemic. Perhaps your team has changed. Even if it still has the same people in the same roles, the people themselves have probably changed in some way. As our research into the COVID-19 crisis and personality type shows, the data you get out of it has tremendous potential for understanding people. Conducting consulting refreshes the team for any return to the workplace. This gives everyone the opportunity to be open in a secure way, which can be a problem after working remotely for long periods of time. Reading the results in the light of the post-lockdown will give them a fresh look at what they need in the new work landscape.

Our global survey shows that 57% of people prefer introversion. Ask if you can work from home as many times a week as is convenient for you and your team. Try not to have these meetings in a row. Don't apologize for who you are and don't hesitate to ask for help."

Find out what works for you

Even though we talk about introversion and extroversion as two groups, the reality is that everyone has their own take on it. We are all individuals. To help you internalize your preference for introversion, write down when, where, and how you perform best. What have you done to make remote work successful? Review your own results and refresh your ideas. See if anything comes up more clearly.

Share your feelings with your manager.

This may be the hardest thing to do. But this is perhaps the most important thing. Offer your case while working and returning to the office are being formed. Encourage colleagues who prefer introversion to do the same. You may not get everything you want, but you may get more than you thought. If you don't ask, you'll never know.
