What is I-O?

Industrial-organizational (I-O) psychology is the scientific study of the workplace. Rigor and methods of psychology are applied to issues of critical relevance to business, including talent management, coaching, assessment, selection, training, organizational development, performance, and work-life balance.

The previous TIP contained a listing of our SIOP program to be presented August 710, 2003 at the American Psychological Association Convention in Toronto. We now have confirmation of the days and times of sessions so attendees can better plan their schedules. 

As you may know, the convention has been streamlined with three types of programming: regular divisional programming, the second year of the cluster programming designed by groups of divisions, and the central APA programming. See cluster programming article by Rosemary Hays-Thomas. Conveniently, all substantive programming will be scheduled in one venue, the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, for greater ease in moving among sessions. 

Outlined below are CE workshops, followed by our SIOP programming. Days and times are presented as they will appear in the convention program. Complete information on workshops is available on the APA Web site at http://www.apa.org/ce/ce-yourway.html. Also, see the APA Convention Program for details about regular convention sessions for which CE can be earned.
