Research has found indisputedly that positive psychological techniques benefits not just employees, but also employers. Building a positive environment, and a person centred work culture has shown to increase employee contentment, leading to increased productivity, greater motivation and the ability to cope with workplace stress and uncertainty.
So how can a psychologist help? A psychologist can help identify employee strengths and weaknesses, and help mangers formulate strategies to use those effectively. They can foster emotional intelligence, which enables employees to build rapport with each other, and with outside stakeholders. A psychologist can teach organisational behaviour, leading to more effective and efficient workplace practices and they can teach employees and managers how to set obtainable goals and challenges to build a cohesive well-functioning team.
