What is an I-O Psychologist?
I-O (industrial-organizational) psychologists help
organizations define strategies, set policies, and implement
practices involving the performance and well being of people at
work.
I-O psychologists apply the rigor and methods of
scientific psychology to issues of critical relevance to businesses
and other work organizations.
Careers in I-O span a wide range of roles, from
cutting-edge research in university settings to boardroom
consultation.
Our work with organizations includes topics that are
essential to the effective management of talent within organizations
including the assessment of people for selection and placement into
jobs, effective training, strategies for organizational development,
measurement of performance, and quality of worklife.
