Psychological assessments in the workplace can be used to help employers assess for recruitment purposes, understand an employee’s behaviour, personality, or skill-set, and even determine whether an employee is fit to return to work following an injury.

Assessing employee cognitive strengths or deficits, focus and attention, reading comprehension, and writing or personality styles are some examples. Following the evaluation phase, the psychologist compiles the data acquired into a formal report that concisely outlines their conclusions. Psychological reports of this nature are generally used for professional or legal reasons, and they can also include recommendations for counselling or other types of treatment or adjustments to help with employee’s role in overcoming barriers, changing their workplace conditions.

It may be helpful for employers to be aware of the importance of psychological assessments in promoting the mental well-being of employees. By identifying and addressing psychological difficulties early on, organisations can prevent them from becoming more serious problems that may lead to absences or even resignations. Our company works with forensic and clinical psychologists to provide expert assessments and qualified opinions in the area of psychological assessment and reporting.
