What is Business Psychology?

 

It is the practice of helping organisations understand their people better, making the workplace more efficient and ensuring the organisation has a culture that is thriving and successful. 

 

This involves using psychological principles to improve recruitment, employee development, performance management and organisational change.

 

 

A Business Psychologist puts the human element into key performance indicators by focusing on the people behind the numbers. 

 

Through psychological frameworks and insights, a Business Psychologist supports organisations by helping leaders and employees work better together to achieve shared goals. 

 

 

 

How is this different to Human Resources?

 

A Business Psychologist uses psychology to understand and improve how people work, focusing on behaviour, productivity and workplace culture. A HR professional manages the administrative side of things like hiring, payroll and compliance with labor laws. 

 

Essentially, while HR handles the day-to-day management of employees, a Business Psychologist uses scientific methods to make the workplace better and help employees thrive. 

How is this different to Learning & Development or Organisational Development?

 

Business Psychology focuses on understanding and improving workplace behaviour using psychological principles.

 

Learning & Development (L&D) concentrates on enhancing employees' skills and knowledge through training programmes.

 

Organisational Development (OD) aims to improve the overall effectiveness and health of an organisation through planned change initiatives. 

 

While Business Psychology deals with individual and group behaviour, L&D focuses on skill acquisition and OD addresses systemic organisational changes and culture.
