6 Types of Persona You Will Likely Encounter at Work

2/26/2021

 
If you have yet to start working and wanted to find some information on the people who you may meet at work, you are at the right place!

But if you are already working and just here for a fun read, you will also be in for a treat as it may point out some glaring personas you have also fortunately or unfortunately encountered in your workplace.
​
I have also pointed out some suggestion you could adopt to manage such personas while you work with them. So, let’s start introducing these creatures to you, one by one.

Independent One

6 Types of Persona You Will Likely Encounter at Work - perfume making workshop for signature scent Best way to enjoy a perfume team building Singapore
These people typically assume a quiet and introverted personality. You will find that they often sneak their way out of social gatherings, volunteer works, lunch or pantry gatherings with the other colleagues.

This is because communicating with people isn’t their best trait and hence, often feel drained and frustrated after trying. Since they recognize that it is inevitable to communicate and work with others in an organization, they will save their energy and avoid other unnecessary mingling with colleagues outside of work.

Although these people are introverted in nature, they are the ones that get their work done. They analyse hard data well and are often fairly meticulous in their work.

Handling the Independent Ones: They work best and more productively alone or in smaller groups, forcing them to work in large teams could often be counter-productive to their performance and efficiency.
​
However, it is inevitable to work in teams, so when this happens, allow them more time to process and internalize their thoughts. Acknowledge their achievements and provide constructive feedback so they can improve the next time round.

Social Butterfly

This persona is a complete flip side of the Independent One and one that the Independent One will fiercely avoid because of their large difference in energy levels.
You will often see the social butterfly everywhere but at their work desk. They could be in the pantry talking about the juicy gossips, or at their colleagues’ desk chatting about what to have for lunch. They are most energetic while socializing and not doing work.

Even though they may look like they are not working during working hours, mysteriously much of their work is completed on time. This is mostly due to their wide connections. They are more resourceful in finding out information from their friends and colleagues to complete their work faster. They may even have friends who are willing to help them complete their work.
These people usually are quick witted and knows how to smoke their way through their persuasive skills.
​
Handling Social butterflies: Set clear objectives to meet and what end results they have to achieve, and but allowing them to have freedom to choose the methods to achieve the goals. If they are distracting the other colleagues from working, do let them know as well, to adjust their priorities between socializing and working, while also preventing any decrease in workplace productivity.

Ninja Turtle

6 Types of Persona You Will Likely Encounter at Work - perfume making workshop for signature scent Best way to enjoy a perfume team building Singapore
The person is one who is Missing in Action (MIA) most of the time. These people can have an amiable front, but steps on people’s nerves when we urgently need them, yet are almost always uncontactable. Their workplace status is almost always offline and they take ages to reply a simple email. Do not that sometimes, not only our colleagues, this can also be our bosses.
​
Handling Ninja Turtles: Grab them whenever you see them and remind them of the tasks to be completed. Be thick skin and send them frequent interval online reminders (in case they miss the previous emails) especially when you see that they are not doing any work at the moment.

Angry Bird

Like a ticking time bomb, you handle them with care. They are individuals that often speak their minds but on the other hand, are not ready to receive the same treatment. In a good way, it helps them projects a personality of honesty and straightforwardness. However, in the bad way, it causes tension in the workplace, and decreases work productivity.

Although they have a poisonous tongue, these people can actually be good at heart. They just fail to express their emotions appropriately due to their insecurities which often leads them into misunderstandings and conflicts.
​
Handling Angry Birds: Be calm and rational while speaking to them. Try to counter their sharp words with polite and tactful ones. When they see that you mean no harm and threat, they will tone down their defensive words and the communication flow will get better.

Slacker

6 Types of Persona You Will Likely Encounter at Work - perfume making workshop for signature scent Best way to enjoy a perfume team building Singapore
Slackers are can be labelled as a species of sloths while possessing the intellect, reaction time and physical form of humans and it is not as uncommon as you would think. They seem to have been hired due to their perfectly crafted set of resumes but did not pull their own weight when placed in a team. Instead they cleverly delegate work away, so that they do not end up with much to do.

They procrastinate a lot and causes many delays in the work flow of the team. Ultimately, needing others finish up the work for them. Even in meetings, they often give excuses to leave early, come late or even the obtain the permit to be absent.

Handling Slackers: When they are given a task, assign a member of the team to keep tabs on them and if necessary, sit down and work on the project together with them.
​
The carrot and the stick working style may work to give them some drive and motivation to work on the project themselves.

Boot-Licker

6 Types of Persona You Will Likely Encounter at Work - perfume making workshop for signature scent Best way to enjoy a perfume team building Singapore
They are people who are diligent in making connections with the big shots in the company to pave a faster way to advance the corporate ladder. Due to being overly ambitious, they often see and split workplace relationships into ones that benefits them, and ones that don’t. Therefore, it may be difficult to form a genuine friendship with them.
On a positive note, they can be great to work with and have a certain level of competency in their field of work.
​
Handling Boot-Lickers: Ensure that they do not compromise on their work assignments and affect the workplace performance and productivity with their social behaviours. Set boundaries so that they cannot cross and not let their flattery of you or others cloud your judgements. And if necessary, point out their inappropriate behaviours in a constructive and tactful manner.

To End Off,

I would not limit and box our workplace to only possess this 6 types persona but these are the common ones we may encounter while working. Therefore, having some mental preparation and ways to manage them while working could help to smoothen out your working experience.

5 Factors to creating a positive work environment

2/16/2021

Clear Communication

​An honest and open communication is extremely important and can be the key to success in an organisation. It is important that a common understanding between the employee and boss is established and clear instructions are given, especially for the newly-hired staff. Employees must have a clear idea of what is expected of them and the bosses should also do regular check-ins.
 
When issues are raised, there should be a meeting to discuss what could be done and improved. When the employees feel that their voices are being heard and addressed, they naturally feel happier to work in the environment and thus deliver better results.

Work-Life Balance

​I can’t emphasize this enough, but work-life balance is a big must-have to create a positive work culture. Imagine enjoying your off day with your family only to have your boss calling you to check on work related matters, how does that sound?
 
Did you know that chronic stress is one of the most common health issues in the workplace? Creating an environment that prioritizes work-life balance can help to reduce stress and increase work efficiency. If the employees regard the workplace as their second home, you’ll be surprised to see how much more they are able to achieve!

Positive Reinforcement

​Recognising hard work put in by employees is crucial, it will encourage them to strive for better results. A reward here doesn’t have to be monetary in nature, something as simple as a verbal recognition is enough to make employees feel valued for what they’ve put in.
 
Here are some ways that you can promote positive reinforcement:
 
1.    Promotions
2.    Year end bonuses
3.    Certificates
4.    Gift vouchers
 
Encouragements are not hard to give, and even something as simple as letting your employees knock off work an hour early or come in work an hour later is enough to work it’s magic!

Facilitate Opportunities for Learning

​It is important for a company to keep up with changes and train their employees accordingly. Adapting to change is crucial as those who don’t, get replaced. Professional development can enhance the productivity of the organisation as a whole.
 
Providing skills and knowledge learning opportunities allows employees to upgrade themselves, and the company to progress together as well.

Team Work

Coworkers having similar mindset and values makes it much easier for them to work together and get things done. Employers should make it a point to hold team bonding sessions monthly if allowed, to keep staffs bonded and happy.
 
Here are some ways for team bonding:
●     Have a monthly dinner with the staffs to sit down and trash out issues (if any)
●     Team retreat - could be a simple bowling session or short trip to a neighbouring country
●     Doing volunteering work together
 
In summary, creating a positive work environment doesn’t need to be costly or difficult. Simple actions such as addressing an issue immediately, and keeping an open mindset can greatly increase work productivity. The better the employees feel, the more likely they’ll take pride in their work and strive to do their best.

4 Tips to Setting Achievable Goals for Your Team

2/6/2021

 
​A team without a goal can be dangerous on different level. It can cause a lot of disorganization not just within the team but also affecting the other departments and even the whole organization.
Every single team makes a difference and this difference could be the one to trigger a positive ripple to your company. It will start with these following steps.

Identify Clear Team Vision

perfume making workshop for signature scent Best way to enjoy a perfume team building Singapore
Team Vision is an important guide and direction for everyone in the team to follow and stay on track.
So, to identify and set a vision, you must have a future image (vision) of what you want your team will be successful at, so that your goals could be set to align to your visions.
Without a clear team vision, goals set would be messy, unproductive and uncertain. But with a vision, your team will be able to easily craft out action plans and goals that align to your team vision.

Begin Setting Small Goals
​

Using the guides of your team Vision, start by creating small goals. This is because small goals are more achievable. When see that the goals could be easily completed, we are more likely to feel motivated to work towards it as compared to a daunting and ambitious goal.
​
Setting small goals could not only spur and inspire the team, but also show them their quantifiable progress that they have made, giving them a boost in team morale and sense of achievement as well.

Be Realistic
​

perfume making workshop for signature scent Best way to enjoy a perfume team building Singapore
​Yes, be realistic. Check if the small goal you plan is feasible and that your team has the authority, resources and ability to do it.
If the goals are unrealistic, it not only creates more chaos in the team as you have no feasible way to work towards it, but also cause your team to lose their energy, time and morale along the way if the goal is not achieved.

Allow Team Discussion and Consensus
​

perfume making workshop for signature scent Best way to enjoy a perfume team building Singapore
 Clearly it should be a team effort, so team goals should be made known and be given permission for the team to voice their opinions, make suggestion for improvements and seek agreement before the team goal could be made effective.

If any one of the team members disagrees, uncooperative or do not know about the team goals, then the team work towards to goal will be messy and can cause the team to go off track from its vision.
​
Therefore, it is important to take time to allow team to know, understand and agree to work together towards the same goal for the team goal to reach its maximum potential and effectiveness.

In Summary

Team goals are meant to be shared, they must be understood, achievable and aligned to your team’s vision.
Lastly, “If you want to go fast, go alone; but if you want to go far, go together.”
