Psychology Matters: Psychology at work

Psychology Matters in the workplace

Psychology Matters in creating healthy, successful, and productive workplaces where all employees thrive. 

With our governments making important policy decisions on employment rights and supporting people back into work, a psychological perspective has never been more important. 

This workstream highlights how Psychology Matters in the world of work, and how it supports employee wellbeing and productivity. We’re looking at the role of psychology in all aspects of the workplace, from supporting effective organisational leadership, to what makes a psychologically safe working environment.

It also features our award-winning campaign on staff wellbeing in the NHS, and beyond. Not only that, but we’ll also be sharing how we are supporting and advocating for the psychological workforce.
