How Adaptable to Change is Your Next Hire?

In every workplace, some roles require a greater ability for dealing with ambiguity than others.

People with an openness to ambiguity embrace and respond to change and uncertainty more positively than other employees who are less open.

Openness to ambiguity is related to a range of positive behaviours, such as:

  • Improved problem solving
  • Purposeful decision making
  • Increased creativity
  • Greater job satisfaction

In turn, this can lead to:

  • Decreased absenteeism
  • Lower unplanned staff turnover rates
  • More effective teamwork
  • Higher job performance
  • Stronger organisational commitment
