Put yourself in the role of an HR director or I/O psychologist preparing a program for improving the performance of your organization’s talent pool. Let’s start by conducting a scavenger hunt to gather critical concepts you will need to teach to HR staff and organizational managers.
Scan the course materials to define critical personnel psychology concepts, then explain how each concept can or could apply to your organization. Your primary objective will be to gather concepts to help line managers understand how to use personnel psychology for building a high-performance workplace. This exercise will also help you gather building blocks for subsequent assignments.
