PsychoL Associates are a group of chartered occupational psychologists who are specialists in the management of work-related stress. PsychoL can provide a service that ranges from complete stress audits through to short interventions and stress awareness courses for managers.

We are also experts in selection and assessment processes and have wide experience in the design and implementation of assessment centres, psychometric testing and the training of interviewers and assessors. We can offer a complete bespoke service to both large and small organisations from initial job analysis through to the design of whole selection systems. Post selection, Psychol can provide management development and team building designed to individual and/or group requirements.

             


STRESS AUDITSSTRESS AUDITS

Research in 1999 revealed that there are some 200 million days a year lost due to sickness absence in the UK, at a cost to British Industry of around 10.2 billion pounds per year. Over 50% of the sickness can be attributed to work related stress. Organisations are now becoming increasingly aware of the consequences of work related stress. However, both the symptoms and the causes may be many and varied and a stress audit is often the only method of identifying the causal factors involved. PsychoL are happy to discuss any issues of work-based stress with you and establish what particular requirements you may have, whether you wish to set up a preventative scheme, individual type analysis, a company or departmental audit or just stress awareness training.

Unfortunately, traumatic experiences can occur anywhere including the workplace. Trauma, resulting from industrial accidents or violence at work can be devastating for both the individual and the organisation. PsychoL psychologists can help prevent the long term effects and aid recovery. See TRAUMA MANAGEMENT for ways we can assist.

SELECTION

Attempting to select the best person for a position in your organisation can be problematic. Staff often fail to live up to expectations made at SELECTIONinterview. PsychoL's Selection and Assessment procedures help prevent errors occurring which can subsequently prove costly and damaging to your organisation. We can help you develop selection practices that are robust, defensible in employment tribunals and above all, ensure that you get the right person for all your employment needs.

The ability to recruit the best people is fundamental to the success of any business and in an ideal world two people doing exactly the same job under the same conditions would produce the same output. However, research has strongly suggested that the best workers usually do twice as much work as the worst and the ability to predict who will and who will not perform at an optimal level is vitally important. The traditional model of personnel selection revolves around the unstructured interview - a process that is notorious for providing low levels of prediction for work-related criteria. A more effective and far more predictive method lies in competency-based selection models on which PsychoL consultants would be happy to advise.

WORK DESIGN Performance Analysis

Low productivity, low morale, high stress levels or poor communication can be some of the things that are indicative of work design problems. Performance Analysis looks at the way an organisation actually carries out it's business in an effort to reduce any variance between what the employees are actually doing, the culture of the organisation and the overall organisational goals. Many firms are finding that, to remain competitive in quickly changing global markets, new production methods and new managerial skills are required to go with a new breed  of multi-skilled worker, who also needs to be flexible enough to react to that same changing environment. PsychoL occupational psychologists offer a complete work analysis service that will study the organisational problem from all perspectives and offer recommendations for effective solutions that will equip firms to remain competitive.
