Who We Are.

Annie Hoover, Ph.D., is an industrial-organizational psychologist who brings curiosity and a rigorous approach to everything she does. Her research has focused on helping all employees feel empowered and like they truly belong. Through her work at idealis, she strives to deliver high-quality research and data insights that enable organizations and their leaders to bring their full selves to work and perform at their best.
Annie loves to learn about science, history, people, and places. When she’s not working, you are likely to find her outside, whether that means hiking with her yellow lab named Melli, camping, or sitting in the shade with a good book. She loves to travel and explore new restaurants and coffee shops with her husband, family, and friends. Annie aims to find joy in the small moments.
“A balanced state of being enables us to show up as our best selves in all the different spheres of our lives. But, finding balance takes intention and practice.”
