In 2014, SIOP designated September as Smarter Workplace Awareness Month to celebrate and promote the science and practice of I-O psychology. It is an opportunity for SIOP members to help share the many ways I-O psychology makes the workplace smarter—more effective, efficient, productive, and generally a better place for employees and employers to work.
It is also an opportunity for business leaders to learn how I-O psychology and SIOP members can enhance human well-being and performance in organizational and work settings. Business leaders and others interested in I-O psychology can visit the Smarter Workplace Awareness Month webpage to learn more about I-O psychology, learn how the Consultant Locator can help those interested in exploring how I-O psychology can help their organization, and learn how affiliate membership can help them build meaningful connections with SIOP members.
SIOP members can help celebrate and promote the science and practice of I-O psychology by engaging with SIOP social media posts throughout September, brushing up on SIOP’s history, and sharing resources and graphics posted on the Smarter Workplace Awareness Month webpage. Additional ways to engage are also listed on this webpage.
New this year, we are inviting SIOP members to help bring awareness and understanding to I-O psychology by sharing “I-O Psychology in Action” photos from their workplace or institution. Photos may be shared on SIOP social media accounts as part of Smarter Workplace Awareness Month. Important details, including photo format, can be found on the Smarter Workplace Awareness Month webpage.
We are also accepting testimonials about I-O psychology. Testimonials can be emailed to astark@siop.org; they may be shared on the SIOP website and on SIOP social media accounts. Thank you to SIOP Associate Tonya Echols, SIOP Member Irina Cozma, SIOP Fellow Nathan Bowling, and SIOP Retired Fellow M. Peter Scontrino for helping us start this effort. Their testimonials are posted on the Smarter Workplace Awareness Month webpage.
SIOP’s mission is to enhance human well-being and performance in organizational and work settings by promoting the science, practice, and teaching of I-O psychology. Join us in celebrating this vibrant field by participating in Smarter Workplace Awareness Month throughout September!
