How do you manage both introverts and extroverts in the workplace? The key is to recognise and leverage their unique strengths! 👉🏼Introverts often shine in focused, independent work, with strong listening and problem-solving skills. 👉🏼Extroverts usually excel in social, high-pressure roles, bringing leadership and action-oriented traits. A good manager knows how to balance these dynamics and create an environment that nurtures both personalities. Here's a tip: Understand the differences, and let them complement each other for a more resilient, productive team! #teamwork #recruitment #hiring

Last week, Pamela from our Melbourne office made her way to Sydney to host the second Breaking Barriers - Women in Med Tech & Pharma event, and it was nothing short of inspiring... A huge thank you to our panellists Jane Crowe, GAICD, Nicole Burns, and Penny Stewart—for their raw, honest, and authentic insights on leadership, the unique challenges women face, and their strategies for success. Their reflections on the importance of mentorship, sponsorship, and networking were truly impactful 💙 It was incredible to have over 50 brilliant women from our industries join us—the energy in the room was electric! This series was born from seeing a gap in our industry—a need for women across different businesses to come together, share experiences, and learn from each other to elevate their careers.
