Tips for Supporting Introverted Employees
Be aware and build understanding
If you're unsure about their working style and preferences, talk to employees. Ask
them what they need to feel comfortable contributing their ideas and interacting with
the team.
Honour employee differences and preferences
Consider whether the frequency, format, and length of meetings is suited to everyone.
And, when possible, hold individual meetings for those who feel more comfortable
connecting one-on-one or in small groups.
Introverts often prefer to work alone, rather than in groups. Try to make room for quiet
and private space for concentration when appropriate and reasonable.
