Description
Develop awareness and acceptance to the HSPs in your workforce which is inclusionary and benefits the organization as a whole.
Are you the manager of highly sensitive people? Probably, because HSPs are twenty percent of the population. The authentic HSP tends to more fully consider options and outcomes and so may be a major asset to your department. They are loyal, conscientious employees, good at team building and customer relations. Overly sensitive and highly sensitive sound similar and have been confused. You may think of a sensitive person as an immature, selfabsorbed, and temperamental individual who flies off the handle at every small thing. Not so, according to science. Being highly sensitive means being high in sensory processing sensitivity (SPS), a trait that is inborn and genetic. This topic will provide methods to develop awareness and acceptance to a the HSPs in your workforce which is inclusionary and benefits the organization as a whole. An aware supervisor who uses these tools will be more responsive and thereby more sensitive to the HSP employee without excluding everyone else. Sensitivity encompasses diversity, inclusion and focusing on the talents of the overall workforce and empowers the leadership to motivate and encourage employee engagement.
