Quiet Voices, Loud Impact: Rethinking Internal Communication for an Introverted Workforce

Quiet Voices, Loud Impact: Rethinking Internal Communication for an Introverted Workforce


Most workplace communication is designed for those who think out loud. Open-plan offices, brainstorming sessions, and high-energy meetings cater to people who thrive on interaction. But what about the deep thinkers? The quiet contributors? The team members who process information internally before they speak?

If your internal communication strategy prioritises visibility over value, you might be missing out on some of your organisation’s most thoughtful and innovative minds.

Join host Sia Papageorgiou FRSA, FCSCE, SCMP in conversation with Richard Etienne, communication strategist and inclusive leadership advocate, as they explore how to design internal communication that engages all personality types – without forcing introverts to adapt to an extrovert’s world.

What we’ll explore:

  • Why traditional workplace communication often leaves introverts unheard (and disengaged)
  • How to structure internal communication to balance deep thinking with open collaboration
  • The role of psychological safety in helping quieter team members contribute their best work
  • Practical ways leaders can recognise and engage introverts without pushing them out of their comfort zone
  • How small shifts in communication styles can unlock greater innovation and stronger teams

Who should attend?

HR professionals, people managers, DEI practitioners, internal communication specialists, and senior leaders looking to create a workplace where all voices – loud or quiet – are valued.
