HIGH SENSITIVITY AT WORK: THE REASON WHY IT SHOULD BE ON AN EMPLOYER'S AGENDA

Summary/Abstract: Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) is a phenotypic trait that is characterized by deep information processing of the environment at cognitive, sensory, and emotional levels. Thus, SPS has a great influence on different life areas. The evidence from the research results clearly shows that for highly sensitive people the environment in which they develop is of particular importance. The purpose of the paper is to present the importance of the trait for career development. The described conclusions are drawn from qualitative research (focus groups and individual interviews) carried out as part of the international ‘PRO-MOTION. Sensitive Career Management’ project. The conclusions will be used to prepare recommendations regarding the workplace and the strengths of highly sensitive people in the workplace. The summary was prepared to synthesize in a synthetic way the most important advantages related to the high sensory processing sensitivity.
