September is Smarter Workplace Awareness Month! We've dedicated the month to sharing information about how the science and practice of I-O psychology can improve worker well-being while creating more effective organizations.

We are again focusing on the annual Top 10 Work Trends.

The Smarter Workplace committee has been working with member experts to create special content on the Top 10 topics each week of September. The new publications will be featured in your weekly Source email and posted here.

Visit this page often during the month of September and watch SIOP’s social media accounts for new Smarter Workplace information postings.

Scroll down for resources you can use to learn more about the topics in the Top 10 Trends and to share information about SIOP with your clients and co-workers.
