Our world has undergone significant changes over the past 10 years, impacting our lives and the world of work in ways that were difficult to imagine. The demands of sharing and managing knowledge in our information age have become key to success, resulting in significantly different models of work, opportunities for innovation and infinitely more career choices.

The transformation of South African society and the world of work have provided new opportunities for the Industrial and Organisational Psychologist to make a contribution in the lives of South Africans.

How will we do this? Are new I/O Psychologists appropriately prepared for the challenges they need to face in the next 5 years? How relevant are our areas of research and practice development, given the demands of our stakeholders and clients? How should we influence regulatory bodies, legislation and our sister professions? How will we remain valuable and relevant over the next 5 years?

The aim of the SIOPSA Future Fit programme is to address these questions and to produce a set of tangible outcomes that will enhance and shape the profession over the next few years.

The Future Fit programme focus on 11 Action Domains: 

The Scope of Practice and Ethics domains forms the centre of the model and is the focus of the programme for the immediate future.  In addition, the Practice Management and Internship domains have produced various outcomes.

You can read more and access the outcomes from these domains by clicking on the tabs at the top of this page.
