Our Core Values, Our Ethos
Working within a legally defined rigorous
professional standard we apply the science of
psychology to solving people problems in the
workplace. Respect for people, safe, competent and
ethical evidence based practice are our core values.
Science is about gathering information
first and then trying to make sense of it. Bad
science starts with a conclusion (a ready made
solution to sell to the client), for which supporting evidence
is then selectively sought. This results
in single solutions being repeatedly applied to
different clients, with little consideration of specific
needs, and interventions and decisions which are
ineffective, unethical and difficult to justify
and defend.
Our approach is objective - we act dispassionately,
don't make assumptions nor present opinion as fact. We
don't come armed solutions to sell, before understanding the problem, nor
do we accept the first theory which just
happen to fit the facts.
Our starting point is always to establish agreements
with the customer in order to identify needs and
problems. We then carry out an analysis of what the
customer has identified to precisely define the problem
to be addressed, before moving on to formulating and
implementing solutions. Once we implement any solution
we begin a process of reflection and rigorous ongoing
review and evaluation of outcomes.
Confidentiality is a fundamental value, we do not breach
it. Much of the work we do for clients is highly
sensitive and subject to legal privilege. Consequently,
we do not discuss previous projects or identify clients.
We offer no
'quick fixes' or standard solutions - just as
every client need is different, then so are the
interventions we design and deliver to address
them.
