Organisational psychology consulting and measurement
SACS is here to help you achieve your organisation and workforce goals. Our role is to develop a clear idea of where you want to be, and then help you get there.
We do this by drawing on organisational psychology and neuroscience research to give you evidence-based methods that help you maximise your organisation’s strengths. All of our organisational psychology consulting services are underpinned by science – we don’t rely on tradition, belief, or personal preference.
If we can’t back it with empirical evidence, we don’t recommend it.

We offer an evidence-based perspective on what is often done intuitively. We provide coaching for maximum change.

Frequently asked questions
What is organisational psychology?
Organisational psychology is the application of psychological science to how people behave, perform and interact at work. It focuses on measuring and improving factors such as motivation, wellbeing, leadership, culture, decision making and job performance using validated, evidence-based methods.
What’s an example of organisational psychology?
A common example is using psychometric assessments to predict job performance and culture fit during recruitment. Other examples include running employee engagement surveys, measuring wellbeing, analysing team dynamics or designing interventions that improve leadership effectiveness.
What is the difference between HR and organisational psychology?
HR manages the operational aspects of people management: policies, processes, compliance, onboarding and day-to-day workforce administration.
Organisational psychology focuses on the science behind behaviour and performance, using validated psychological tools and research to guide recruitment, leadership, culture, wellbeing and organisational effectiveness. HR is operational; organisational psychology is evidence-based and analytical.
What is organisation development?
Organisation development is a planned, evidence-based approach to improving how an organisation functions. It involves analysing structures, processes, culture and leadership, then designing interventions that enhance productivity, communication, engagement and organisational health. The focus is on long-term improvement and sustainable change.
What is the difference between organisation development and organisational psychology?
Organisation development is the process of improving an organisation’s effectiveness.
Organisational psychology provides the science and measurement methods used within that process.
In practice, organisational psychology informs organisation development by supplying validated data, behavioural insights, and evidence-based tools that guide interventions, leadership development, culture improvement and change management.
