Enterprise-level businesses are more than collections of facilities spread across large real-estate portfolios. They\u2019re also large, diverse spectrums of employees. By finding ways to support all the different personality types, workplace leaders can ensure everyone is able to fully contribute to the organization\u2019s business goals.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The workforce is happier<\/a>, more productive, and less likely to leave.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The six personality types<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

According to researcher John Holland, six key categories define the modern worker. His assessment offers a framework that considers interest in career choice and pairs ideal environments for types of personalities that also play a role in job satisfaction and performance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The six types are Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. The theory classifies people into their respective categories by evaluating how a person approaches life situations \u2014 and most people fall into more than one category. People with the same personality type tend to work best with others of their type, while certain types work best alone or with specific groups over others.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding the differences between the types, which tend to work best together, and the specific workplace environments that help them thrive can help workplace leaders from everything from hiring and desk assignments to layout and furniture decisions.\u00a0<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
