The figure of the work psychologist is important within the company and not exclusively aimed at personnel selection but, more generally, as an expert for the protection of the business dynamics and for the resolution of any internal problems.

Gruppo La Meridiana propose to the companies the work psychologist figure, both as external consultant or in outsourced for inclusion on the staff, to carry out a more coordinated work.

If in Europe this professionist is almost unmissable within large companies, in Italy the situation is slightly different, because the entrepreneurs distrust to inserting on the staff this figure. The widespread fear on the part of Italian companies is that a psychologist can bring out latent problems of minor importance, or create others, at the expense of the organization and of the balance. This is an absolutely irrational fear, arising from a closed mind on the perspective of business development.

Obviously, it is important to distinguish between small and medium-sized and large companies, because the figure of the work psychologist plays different roles in each of this cases.

In small businesses, the work psychologist is rarely included in the internal organic, especially for a matter of cost and resource management. In these cases, companies opt for an external consultant to be used if necessary, or to be exclusively used for the preliminary selection of the staff, for the curriculum reading and for the cognitive interviews.

The consultings, in Italy, are the most common operating range for this professionist. Gruppo La Meridiana proposes often this figure to its clients: a selected professionist with the appropriate skills to fulfill any assignment of his work field.

In medium and large enterprises, however, is preferable to include the work psychologist in the internal organic. In this case, Gruppo La Meridiana provides companies the outsourcing resource, to carry out all its basic functions, putting into practice his skills within the company.

A work psychologist, in fact, can be used in various areas: in addition to the selection of personnel, in fact, one of the tasks that fall in his duties is training.

The current market is much more dynamic than a few years ago, and the learning paths should be the basis of any use and assignment: the work psychologist can apply only to employees hired or, in agreement with the company, choose to perform also the courses to external. Not only lessons concerning professional development, because in modern society is essential that employees have the minimum skills related to the basics of the psychology of work.

In the particular case, are much more frequent the courses that allow to quick identify mobbing and bullying, two of the most dangerous plagues of the modern world of work. Prevention and safety are the main operational areas of a work psychologist.

In fact, the risks are not only physical but, many times, are also manifested at the psychological level, especially when there is a really high level of stress.

Gruppo La Meridiana knows better than anyone the importance of a work psychologist, careful and professional, that work within the company and guarantees to its customers excellent quality professionals, able to working in any field to provide support and advice to local companies.
