The caucus is focused on addressing the challenges faced by Black IOPs and promoting policy improvements to support their growth and development. By providing a platform to address the needs of Black psychologists, the Caucus is working towards transforming the IOP profession in South Africa.

Despite almost 30 years of democracy, South Africa remains a racially divided society where many workers from disadvantaged communities feel excluded in the workplace. Unfortunately, this issue is also present within SIOPSA, where Black IOPs are underrepresented in the profession and may feel alienated.

To address this problem, the Transformation Portfolio has contributed to the SIOPSA strategic pillar, ‘Diverse and Inclusive Collaboration,’ to create a multicultural profession representing South African communities' diversity. The strategy includes

• Facilitating the development of a diverse pool of Industrial and Organisation Psychologists (IOPs) who are positive, agile, balanced, and capable of navigating pathways to success within SIOPSA, their profession, and their workplaces.
• Creating an inclusive SIOPSA culture and climate that promotes a positive sense of belonging, improves trust, restores harmony, and endorses multiculturalism in the IOP profession.
• Contribute to a multicultural IOP profession that is more representative of diverse communities within the country and positively impacts broader society.
