Dr Hannah Collis

Her research centes around the concept of supporting individual differences at work to facilitate positive work and employee outcomes, exploring a range of topics including personality dynamics and understanding how personality interacts with, and is shaped by, work experiences or environments. She further studies the topics of gender within higher education and neurodiversity within working populations, investigating how masking may be supported to reduce the employee burnout. Finally, she is also researching the effects of newer ways of working, such as hybrid working and activity-based offices, on employee work and wellbeing outcomes.

Hannah's work is multidisciplinary, touching on a range of different theoretical and disciplinary foundations. However, her work is underpinned by a psychological grounding, placing emphasis on individual experiences. She has published articles in a range of prestigious journals, as well as a book chapter and a number of practical white paper outputs. She has received external funding from the British Academy/Leverhulme.

Before joining Henley Business School, Hannah worked at Exeter Business School as a Lecturer in Organisational Behaviour and Leadership and prior to this at Leeds University Business School as a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow on the Economic and Social Research Council Funded Project: Adapting Offices for the Future of Work. She holds a PhD from the University of Surrey, where her thesis explored personality dynamics at work.
