Business Psychologists and Occupational Psychologists

Workplace Mental Health Consultancy:


Business psychologists advise on mental health in the workplace. Like clinical psychologists, occupational psychologists can advise on whether someone has a mental illness, they treat some mental illnesses, and decide whether any reasonable adjustments are required. Business psychologists work with organisations to design strategies to reduce workplace stress and design safe work environments, thus reducing personal injury claims.

Selection and Assessment Consultancy:

Business psychologists design efficient selection processes which help organisations identify which candidates will be the high performers, thus saving organisations significant sums of money by avoiding poor selection decisions. Business psychologists have access to an array of standardised psychometric tests to help businesses predict performance.

Leadership Development Consultancy:

Occupational and business psychologists help develop leader’s abilities to lead teams effectively. Business psychologist can help leaders to maximise the profitability and performance of their organisations and minimise losses.

Why Business Psychologists Can Help Organisations In Many Ways

Performance Management Consultancy:

Business psychologists work with companies to design and implement efficient performance assessment processes. They might use techniques from sports psychology to create a performance culture.

Learning and Development Consultancy:

Business psychologists identify the areas where learning and development will improve profitability or reduce costs. Using our knowledge of educational psychology, we determine how to best design and deliver the learning. We evaluate the impact that learning, and development has had on the performance of organisations.

Executive Coaching:

Our business psychologists have practical experience of running successful businesses, as such, they can coach business leaders from all business functions. Managers receive feedback based on their results of various personality instruments such as the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Hogan Development Survey. Our business psychologists can also coach on the application of psychology to several critical business functions, including finance, marketing, law and IT. We also coach those who are out of work through job search workshops, interview skills training and preparation for assessment centres.

Organisational Development Consultancy:

Our occupational psychologist's focus is on managing successful organisational change through organisational design, and the development of systems to help the business achieve change. Our expertise helps organisations to improve their capability to achieve their ambitions.

Culture Change Consultancy:

As business psychologists, we understand why culture is one of the critical elements of being a successful organisation. Our business psychologists are change specialists who work with organisations to ensure that staff develop the right values and attitudes to improve performance and drive up customer satisfaction.

Human Factors Consultancy

Business psychologists improve performance by creating a psychologically safe work environment. Our occupational psychologists improve organisational practices for psychological safety by ensuring staff treat each other as humans, speak to others as collaborators, are more receptive to feedback and avoid a blame culture. We measure the impact of improvements in employee safety and improve health and safety at work.
