The objectives of the SPS Industrial Organisational Psychology SIG include the following:

• To facilitate discussions around best practices for I/O psychologists
• Provide a support and network group.
• Topics covered would cover the broad area of I/O psychology excluding coaching which is already serviced by an effective interest group.
