Using Psychology to Improve the Bottom Line
WHAT YOU CAN GAIN
You know full well that today's business climate is constantly changing. With technology taking the lead, no business or profession can afford to stand still or fail to utilize whatever tools are available to improve and prosper. A professional psychologist can be a tool that maximizes performance.
Organizations and individuals are systems and systems can run well or run poorly. A system that worked in last year's climate may falter when faced with this year's demands. The costs associated with a failing or inefficient system can be staggering. Think of lost production at the organizational level and the costs of hiring and training at the individual level. These are but examples.
Psychologists are experts in human behavior and you depend on predictable, reliable, job performance behaviors to constitute and contribute to organizational goals. When the behavior of an individual or organization is less than optimal, it makes sense to consult an expert. Preventative training and early intervention go a long way towards removing obstacles to the bottom line.
RESOURCES FOR YOU:
FOR TEAMS AND SYSTEMS
Work groups are subject to the same if not more potential problems than individuals. They operate dynamically and are usually formed on the basis of professional or technical skill sets. Usually little attention is paid to the dynamics of the group itself. We can analyze and suggest interventions for groups that seem to be experiencing problems as well as train groups in the key skill areas associated with high group performance.
FOR SELECTION
The costs of making a employee selection error are substantial. At the clerical level, it has been estimated to be over $5000.00. When personality factors are critical, the costs of a mistake can reach six figure levels. We can work with you to identify key selection criteria as well as train interviewers to do the best job possible. We can also perform a thorough individual assessment for more critical decision processes.
FOR INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE
Whether there is a desire to maximize current personal performance or a reason to make corrective changes, intrapersonal and interpersonal performance skills can be learned and refined. You may want to supercharge an already high performer or investigate and remediate someone who is failing to live up to potential for unknown reasons.
FOR ONGOING TRAINING
Best-seller based road shows are great entertainment but they can be a very expensive training vehicle. Training that is based on sound principals and customized to your needs often gets better results for less money. The topics are limited only by your needs but include:
- Assertion Training
- Career Decision Making
- Communication Skills and Styles
- Coping with Anger
- Dealing Effectively with Problem Customers
- Decision Making
- Gaining Control of Your Life and Workstyles
- Managing Change
- Managing Job Stress
- Personality Styles: Strengths and Weaknesses
- Procrastination
- Fear of Public Speaking
When you have people-based performance problems, it makes sense to use people professionals : licensed psychologists with business expertise.
