No leader is expected to know everything. Got a finance question? Talk to the accountant. Disagreement over a contract? Speak to a lawyer. People aren't performing as you’d like? Ask the experts in getting the best out of people at work - organisational psychologists.
Established in 2000, Kaya has 80 years of collective experience in using science to create healthy, productive workplaces. As organisational psychologists, we are registered professionals with expertise in solving people problems at work.
We are most often called for advice on:
• Wellbeing
• Leadership & coaching
• Team performance
• Changing culture
• Diversity & Inclusion
• Graduate development
• Psychometric assessment
Many consultants work in these areas, so what makes us different? We understand how all these areas are connected, and how a lever pulled in one area can positively impact other areas – systems thinking.
Take employee wellbeing. Free gym memberships are unlikely to boost wellbeing if staff are working 60+ hours per week. Designed well, small inexpensive changes by leaders and teams can build a culture of wellbeing. Kaya uses systems thinking to create effective enduring solutions for our clients.
Because we understand these complex interactions, we don’t make assumptions about the root cause of issues. Instead, we use data from surveys, interviews and focus groups to discover what’s really happening. Why? Because it’s almost impossible to create an effective solution to a poorly defined problem.
But it’s not just what we do, it’s how we do it. As psychologists, ethical practice is part of our professional DNA. Beyond that, we take our Kaya values seriously: Faithful, Patient, Knowledgeable, Honest and Serious (about everything we do for you, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously).
Unlocking employee potential creates a win-win situation - good for individual wellbeing and performance, great for business productivity.
