Facilitator of Organizational Psychology
By resuming back to my psychological practice full-fledged after my corporate role I felt something within me that wanted to explore something more significant which adds value to human life, something by which I can challenge my work to the next level this is when in 2024 I found the true calling, I discovered a powerful and meaningful direction for my second innings, combining my background in psychology with my extensive experience as an HR leader. This fusion of disciplines can indeed lead to profound insights and innovative approaches to understanding and addressing human behaviour in the workplace.
I started by reflecting on my experiences as an HR leader and the behaviours I have observed among team members. The common themes, patterns, and challenges that emerge across different contexts in an organization with more research can form the basis of my practice going forward by applying psychological principles to address HR challenges and enhance organizational effectiveness.
Through this, I want to contribute to making a significant impact in helping organizations understand and address human behaviour in the workplace by addressing various aspects of human behaviour within organizational settings to improve individual and organizational performance, well-being, and effectiveness.
By delivering training interventions to improve job performance, productivity, and employee engagement.
For this, it is important to study the leadership style and behaviour of the organisation as all are unique in themselves with the age of the organisation, team size, and effective leaders within.
The idea is to empower seniors and line managers in team management methods to
Understand employee’s attitudes, behaviour, and performance.
By reducing stressors, enhancing resilience, and promoting employee satisfaction.
To support organizations in managing change and transitions effectively by addressing employees’ emotional reactions and resistance to change. To develop change management strategies, facilitate communication and collaboration, and support employees in adapting to organizational changes.
Will want to contribute to optimizing human resource dept., foster a positive work environment, and achieve goals and objectives effectively. The idea is to improve employee satisfaction, organizational performance, and overall success.
The fundamentals of therapy can be applicable even here, in our profession we can’t expect reviews and clients to come to the forefront as therapy is a very personal, private, secretive and sacred process as it involves emotions, feelings, pain, issues which nobody of us likes to show it in public, similarly the same emotions are also with the organization and its employees, and I understand the impact it can have on business reputation as the culture of the organization remains a private internal affair.
Therefore I am open to signing an agreement for maintaining confidentiality on my end at all times, am not looking for popularity or to show a cliental base, am concerned about the many human lives in the workplace whose well-being get negatively influenced due to poor culture practices since it is understood with the many business dynamics its practically not possible to address these issues and most important is getting them identified.
No outsider can change the culture of a country, state, family or organization.
It needs to be someone from within and that is why I will be working with the senior line in getting the needful corrections by empowering them to carry it forward by themselves at any time.
I will be holding no social media connections with any team members or in their counselling to the ethics of my profession and to maintain the privacy of the organisation.
I don’t engage I invest in people, and this is my passion, not a job, therefore will take up maybe one or two assignments in a year, as it needs a lot of detailing to understand the complexity of human behaviour in the workplace keeping in mind culture and its business goals.
