I am looking at some realistic examples where ESFJ type folks can be engaged besides their daily operations/business function work. I need help in getting some examples of how these individuals can feel they are bringing more value than just basic mundane work. Appreciate the help.

Dear Vishal,
I conduct a training program on "Know Your Personality" where I discuss sixteen personalities of Carl Jung. There are no different methods to engage employees based on their personality. If it were so, there would be sixteen different methods of engagement, and managing all sixteen would be very difficult. Anyway, the following are the attributes of ESFJ:
Preferred Work Environment of ESFJ: These people prefer a friendly, cooperative environment that is well-organized and oriented toward achieving defined goals. They like to work with people who are sensitive, friendly, focused on helping others, and appreciative when they are served.
Interpersonal Style of ESFJ: These people are popular and cooperative. They consider their relationships important and maintain them with energy and intelligence. They are open to the opinions of others but at the same time have their own strong opinions, and are frequently sensitive to indifference and criticism.
Possible Development Needs of ESFJ: It may be important for them to appreciate the value of a detailed and complex analysis of a problem when appropriate. They may need to recognize the value of conflict and accept it when it occurs. Similarly, they may have to open their eyes to the facts in disagreeable or discordant situations.
Based on the above, you may create an engagement plan and submit it here. We will review it for accuracy.

Thank you, Dinesh, for the prompt reply.
I have collected quite a bit of material over the internet about profiles (some of it from these discussion forums). I was hoping to get some ideas about areas where the implementation of these understandings can be done.
A long time back, I had read that one company had an informal room (the decor itself was informal; like no desk but bean bags, etc.) where someone could go sit and relax.
I was looking at this profile group to be able to create a similar room, but it would be more of a place where they get to hear issues (whether related to work or personal). Since they are people persons, they could use their empathetic side to be good listeners. Another thought was also to have them meet potential attrition candidates not from their department but from others. We usually have business HR meet people, but the time gap is huge (1:200 ratio is too big, I guess).
The idea is to create such avenues where there are no performance indicators attributed to it to begin (maybe later there might be some), but an employee feels more valued and contributes to the organization.
Your thoughts, please.
Regards,
Vishal

Dear Vishal,
The last sentence of your second post reads "The idea is to create such avenues where there are no performance indicators attributed to it to begin with (maybe later might have to) but an employee feels more valued and is contributing to the organization." If this is your larger goal, then why restrict it only to ESFJ? Why not consider other personalities as well? ESFJ is just one among 16, therefore, the probability of having ESFJs among your employees is only 1/16.
Against this backdrop, I recommend rolling out the Formal Mentoring Programme in your organization. Mentors listen to their mentees, help them develop their career plans, interpret the company's philosophy or vision, work on developing their personality as a whole, and strive to build their character. Through this process, the mentee naturally develops a strong affiliation with the organization. While mentoring may not be a direct solution to employee attrition, a "Formal Mentoring Programme" serves as a long-term solution and aids in mitigating attrition issues.
For further clarification, feel free to call me on my mobile.

Dear Vishal,
What you raised is a type of personality of MBTI. It is a patented instrument. An accredited administrator can help you out. In MBTI, there is no good or bad type. In each of the 16 types, there are some strengths and some weaknesses based on inborn preferences. A person of any type can perform any job, but in some jobs, they will face less stress, and in others, more stress.
If you have an ESFJ, please find out what type of job is more suitable. An administrator will be able to help you.
