Introversion, WFH and the office

Activate your Introvert

In this week’s show

• Leaders: Do they have to attend leaving parties?
• Working from home, or the office, which is right?
• Question of the week: How to handle people who don’t want to go to drinks after work. Two articles linked to this answer are:
  • Tips for planning work social events that are introvert friendly
  • Tips for introverts to survive work social events
• A discussion with Jim Culverwell: Jim is the premises mentor. He helps businesses get the right premises on the right terms for them. He has, naturally been very involved in the working from home / working from office issues; but from a different angle which I thought it would be good to explore. Contact Jim at https://culverwellconsulting.co.uk

My takeaways from the discussion were:

• Both home working and office working have benefits, how do you get the best of both.
• The first imperative in the working from home v the office debate is what’s right for the business and the people, when doing the job they need to be doing.
• Office design is changing to allow more collaborative spaces and more quiet working spaces. Open place isn’t a good thing for many people who need to focus, especially introverts.
