What is it and how can it help?
Many aspects of the workplace affect behaviour: that's communication, decision-making, effort, motivation, energy, mood. -In other words, everything that humans do. Sometimes what we do, or the way we do it, gets in the way of achieving the task.
That means lower productivity.
Building better communication, optimising task-related effort,
promoting higher energy levels and better mood all lead to more positive, productive workplaces, and increased wellbeing.
Better Psychology for better business.
Emotional Intelligence is an area of Psychology that has taken the business world by storm in the last decade or so. It offers a powerful insight into how we communicate with others, and how we interpret their communication with us.
Leaders higher in Ei are demonstrably more successful, both for themselves and for their team, than those with fewer skills.
The good news is that we can all learn to improve our Ei by changing habits and adopting simple but powerful strategies for success.
Who uses them, why, and why its important to use the right one?
Many organisations now use Psychometrics in their recruitment and development practice. For recruitment, one of the benefits can be to reduce the effects of bias that creep into other methods. Many psychometric tools will also reveal characteristics about candidates which are not obvious at interview. However, not all psychometrics are the same, and some of them bring very low ROI. In general you need to be sure your chosen tool is reliable and valid.

How can this alter the way you process information, your creativity, and your mood?
We are all affected by our perception of the environment, and your perception may be different from your neighbour. Modern offices tend to be open plan, noisy environments. -Some people thrive in this kind of situation, others find them draining. Whilst open-plan can have advantages for communication, there are downsides for tasks requiring concentration. The best workplaces have opportunities for different kinds of activities: some quiet spaces, some social.
Stand-up desks, working from a pod, working from the local coffee shop -we work in very varied spaces, not all spaces are optimal for the task.
