Black Introvert Week UK

​

Research suggests that extroverts achieve a higher earning potential than their introverted colleagues, are more likely to gain promotions and achieve higher performance evaluations. This has obvious implications in the debate on race disparity, equality of opportunity and how best to tackle the ethnicity pay gap.

​

That is the driving force behind Black Introvert Week (BIW), which launched during Black History Month 2021. 

​

Unlocking the talents of all personalities will not only lead to a happier workplace but will improve employee retention, boost the bottom line, and create an agenda of inclusivity that is more than skin deep.

 

We aim to:

​

1. Support teachers and employers to better understand how to recognise and nurture the talents of Black introverts

2. Raise awareness and understanding of the value that Black introverts bring to a team or classroom

3. Support Black introverts to have a voice about their experiences
