7. How can business psychology
help you?
• Recruitment
• Organizational culture
• Development
• Pain Points
• Downsizing
8. • Recruitment
Psychologists can prevent organisations from
making costly recruitment mistakes by identifying top
talent who will not only help the organisation through
leaner times but also enable it to come out of the
downturn in a stronger position. Business
psychologists offer organisations a layer of information
that often goes beyond standard interviewing
processes.
9. • Organizational culture
Whilst many organisations will be focused on
immediate challenges, such as short-term budgeting
and restructuring for survival, it is also important to
maintain a long-term perspective. At a time when
many organisations are looking to cut costs through
redundancies and pay rises that are below inflation, it
is vital that you protect the culture that has been
created and make the organisation an attractive place
to work.
10. • Development
Investing in staff through personal, managerial
and leadership development will not only help
organisations to retain their top performers but also
attract talent in the market. Such provision provides a
competitive advantage to attracting these people, who
increasingly expect such organisational support as part
of their package.
11. • Pain Points
Business psychologists have the knowledge to
deal with and tackle the ‘pain points’ within a
business to significantly reduce levels of stress and
tension. Consequently, the organization can be in a
better state to innovate and formulate solutions to
its current challenges. Executive coaching offers
senior leaders the opportunity to develop the ‘soft
skills’ that are required to engage and re-motivate
employees, as well as build their own resilience to
lead others through times of change.
12. • Downsizing
Many organisations may also be forced to
consider a downsizing strategy. In redundancy
situations it is important to make informed and
timely decisions, communicate clearly, and treat
people respectfully. Psychologists are well placed to
offer career transition coaching to exiting staff who
may be distressed and needing support in their job
search.
