We all have the people in our life whose opinions we trust, and to whose advice we listen. These individuals are seemingly always ahead of the curve, and are tuned-in to things around them.

These people are the Influentials. Our research confirms that 1 in every 10 American is an Influential. Influential individuals have the innate ability to sway the thoughts and opinions of those around them. However to leverage the potential power of Influentials, an organization must first understand who influentials are.

This Bug Insights white paper highlights some of the key features we have confirmed about who Influentials are and how they can be your greatest advocates. Tapping into the power that Influentials possess can help organizations better serve their employees on and off the clock.

Which personality types are working in your office? An infographic from National Pen lists the 13 personality types in every office. Five examples are:

The backstabber: This person pretends to be your friend, but only long enough to steal your good ideas and snag your raise.

The chatterbox: You immediately turn the other way when you see this person coming down the hall. You know he'll suck you into an endless recap of his weekend.

The delegator: This person loves to delegate his work to other people, and never does any of it himself.

The downer: This person complains about everything from management to co-workers to policies, yet she will probably never leave the company.

The meeting scheduler: This person loves meetings so much that you can imagine her scheduling dinner meetings and bedtime stories with her kids.
