Introversion in the workplace
Submission deadline: 28 March 2024
First Publish Dates: 1-3 May 2024
Too often, it’s the loudest opinion in the room that is agreed to, or the most outgoing candidate in the pipeline that gets the job. But this month we want to talk about how more introverted individuals can be supported to succeed too.
About the introversion in the workplace campaign
We are asking eligible Endorsed Employers to put their names down as a workplace that supports introverted women and explain specifics on how.
Not only will the article help our community of women feel that their experiences are seen and supported, but it will also provide them with actionable links to opportunities within your organization.
The questions to answer
How does your organization ensure your hiring processes are specifically introvert-friendly?
Word limit: 250 words
Please make sure your submission includes the name, pronouns, role title, and a picture of the person(s) we can attribute the answers to in the article.
Keep in mind that your submission will be published along with submissions from other Endorsed Employers too. Here are some suggestions to consider to help yours stand out:
- Do you offer a range of choices for candidates to structure the interview to accommodate their needs and preferences?
- Do you prepare candidates for the process by providing them with information and resources, including details about who they will be meeting with, how much time to allocate for each interview and what the company is looking for?
- Do you ensure your job ads are targeting specific requirements of the job advertised, and not traits like an ‘outgoing nature’?

FAQs

How will the advocacy campaign content be shared?
The advocacy campaign content may be curated into any number of formats, including long-form articles, shorter carousel-style stories, videos, or infographics. Each content piece will then be shared across a variety of marketing platforms including our website, social media channels and newsletters. Where relevant we will also broadcast through our partner network and syndicate affiliations.
Will all my content be included?
Due to the high volume and variety of submissions for each focus area, we are unable to include every word of every supplied Endorsed Employers’ content. We will carefully adapt, edit, and curate the content to meet the needs of your organization, but also the needs of our audiences, while always maintaining the veracity of what has been supplied.
We rely on all our Endorsed Employers to provide content relevant to the topic details — the more relevant the content provided, the more space it will be given in any individual feature. Our team will be in touch if we need further clarification on your submission.
I need to speak to someone, who should I contact?
Please reach out to your DEI Account Manager, or campaigns@work180.co if you have further questions.
How will I know when a campaign is live?
Once the main campaign content piece is published, you will be provided with the links.
Please feel free to share these across your own channels. If there are specific hashtags that we are using for the campaign, we will provide these to you to utilize when sharing across your own social media platforms.
Will I get to view the campaign before it goes live?
No. The time between drafting, building the content, and publishing is very tight. This along with the number of stakeholders involved in each campaign, and the number of campaign content pieces a single submission may be involved in, it simply isn’t fair or feasible to allow any one client to approve the content before it’s published. We ask that clients get all the content they submit to be approved prior to submitting.
