What type persona are you?

Four different green personas

Every person is different. Groenpact discovered that we can distinguish between four different employee profiles in the green domain. We refer to these profiles as the green personas. They offer insight into your attitude towards work, what is important to you and what suits you when it comes to learning and development.
