A bright future for Industrial & Organizational Psychology? Challenges and opportunities in a post-Covid19 world.
10:00 AM - 11:00 AMPromotional description
COVID-19 sent an electric shock through IO Psychology. Will that electric shock paralyze or energize? The sudden, almost overnight experience of having people work from home has made the changing workplace frontpage news. For the past two years, questions around productivity, virtual work, leadership, change management, mental health and wellbeing at work have dominated newspapers and business magazines. This provides a unique opportunity for IOP to inform and influence societal and industry discussions and demonstrate its unique knowledge base and skills. But is IOP currently seizing this opportunity to create a bright future for itself? Perhaps not as it should.
In this keynote, Professor Frederik Anseel (UNSW Sydney) will discuss the future of IOP. Frederik Anseel served until recently as President of the European Association of Work and Organizational Psychology and has been a board member of the global Alliance for Organizational Psychology for the past ten years. On the basis of his global experiences, he will identify a number of common challenges that IO psychologists face and will give examples of how IOPs in other regions are working to overcome those challenges.
