Personality Diversity—Thriving as an Introvert in the Staffing Industry
Victoria Hill, director of diversity and social impact, Advanced Group

Think about DE&I as Diversity, Extroverts, & Introverts. We often forget about the personalities of our employees being the driving force of performance. Everyone in the staffing industry falls into an extrovert or introvert personality type, which shows up in the workplace in how we interact with our talent and clients. The first step is understanding extraversion and introversion and how they exist at opposite end of the same continuum. In this talk, we will understand personality diversity and focus on the benefits of introverts in the staffing industry and how to recognize and appreciate all their contributions so they can thrive.
