What does an occupational psychologist do?
An occupational psychologist deals with the performance and effectiveness of individuals at work.
It can ensure that a team of employees is fully functional and effective.
At the same time, it shows how each person will derive satisfaction from their work.
All of the above are necessary in any salon or other beauty salon.
The owner of Salon Proactive and Occupational Psychologist Jenny Kamaradou who is active in Greece and abroad
focuses on hairdressing salons or other beauty service providers and offers support.
So, in this article in Hairdressing News we aim to look at an example to understand the role of the hair dresser in the hair styling process
an Occupational Psychologist and her contribution to the smooth functioning of the site & the maximum performance of the team.
Let’s give an example
Suppose you are the owner of a hairdressing salon and you have a staff of seven people who do not work together harmoniously.
to do their job on a daily basis.
Their conflict concerns the allocation of appointments and other tasks of the salon (cleaning, tidying, etc.)
This situation directly affects you and your salon.
Conflicts create tension for everyone.
Sometimes, customers may enter the appointment columns of other employees than the ones they served
at the previous appointment, or the distribution of new customers is not even.
Also, the other tasks of the salon may not be shared equally or there may not be the necessary monitoring of the work
which gives room for avoidance by some members of the team.
As a result, some team members may feel unfairness, lack of team spirit and a loss of status.
This climate creates unhappy customers who may not choose your salon again.
And there’s not even a mention of the potential for bad publicity or negative reviews that you will sooner or later receive.
Resolution
The occupational psychologist deals with the problem effectively.
So let’s look at some indicative points of change:
Threat Diagnosis: When we feel threatened at work we cannot produce to our full potential,
because the dissatisfaction we feel “eats up” our energy.
Diagnosis of Motivation, Needs and Personality: Every employee has a different personality and different work motivation. All workers have some basic job needs that must be met at work, such as prestige,
autonomy, teamwork, justice and security.
Knowing why an employee may feel discouraged helps us to create a plan
action – solving the problem.
Action Plan: The occupational psychologist will provide you with concrete and scientifically proven solutions and suggestions for resolving conflicts in your salon.
All in all, then, the occupational psychologist will solve problems in your salon at their root and improve performance
and the satisfaction of employees substantially, while it can also assist in their organization and management.
