Dr. Heather Whiteman, you are an inspiration for IO students. I am sambath from India doing a master's in IO from IGNOU. wish to practice and do research work in the domain of Industrial psychology and ergonomics. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for making these videos! I am really interested in this career field and these videos have been so informative!
I love this! Very insightful and informative! It has really helped me to decide what I should be doing for my masters and which career path I want to take going forward! Thanks so much!!
Heather, thank you greatly for these videos! I have been interested in applying to IO for a few years now, first at Chicago School (in LA) and now working at Kaiser Permanente, through GCU, which will be partially paid. I am fully convinced that my delay in pursuing the PhD program was justifiable, and I will instead pursue the Masters. It's completely online. I do have an MBV though USC as well, a pilot program that incorporates military experience and discipline with business acumen. Again, thanks!
Hi Heather, I just came across this video and I find it still relevant and inspiring after 3 years. Great to hear the stories and perspectives of people in the field. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Gabor! So great to hear that and I hope all is going great on your people analytics journey!
I love this term "People Analytics"!
I'm currently an IO graduate student at Capella University and am looking into additional information on possible positions. My professional background is data analytics and management and studying OI is a perfect next step for me. Thank you very much for your informative videos!
I agree, It's so much more than a buzzword...but kind of like how it took a century for people to see positivity as essential in human psychology, maybe it took several for businesses to realize that people are as important as profits...at least on a large scale?
Thanks for your video, I’m about to start a master degree in Io and I’m a little bit lost with the career paths
How wonderful, wishing you the best of luck with your degree! I hope that while you are studying you will find topics that really appeal to you that guide you toward the best career path for you.
Hi Heather- I am currently enrolled in an I/O graduate program for my MS or MA. My undgrad background was in Economics. I have been working in sales within the staffing industry for the last 5 years however my goal is to pivot to a more project/science/data analytics driven career (more in line with my strengths) perhaps in the greater world of HR/Talent Acquisition as a consultant or eventually as an internal source for a a firm in those areas. I think I/O would right for me in this regard but am curious to hear what you think in terms of whether such a transition is heard of and in what area of I/O or potential roles in I/O would my background in sales/talent acquisition translate well and be an asset as far as my skillsets outside of this degree when completed? Thanks!
Please am a professional civil engineer with an MSc structural engineering degree, is it possible to persue my PhD in I/o psychology? Looking at the nature of my work deLin g with all kinds of employees, etc.
I really need your advice. Thanks
Thank you so much. Can you give some more insight about this field and if possible some more videos or interviews like these please.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed!
Hi Laxmi - Since you left this reply I've done two more videos on the field. Here is "What is People Analytics" th-cam.com/video/Ly80QRik6LI/w-d-xo.html and here is one that talks about the different terms that tend to be used interchangeably such as people analytics, HR analytics, workforce analytics, etc: th-cam.com/video/Zq0tH4iaAZ4/w-d-xo.html Enjoy!
Hello ma'am, how can I contact to subhadra Dutta, I'm also an Indian and I want to ask related to IO psychology
So coming from having ungrad in BH (Behavioral Health) would it be best to go into my graduates focusing on I/O or start from the beginning with I\O?
I don't think you'd need to start all over. Your background in Behavioral Health could still be applicable and would probably give you some interesting understanding to the field of people at work.
Hi heather I have a degree in iop and people analytics sounds like something I would be interested but where do I start ?
Hi Mary - congrats on your degree and excited that you are interested in people analytics. If you are looking for more learning opportunities there are plenty of courses (I teach quite a few: ikhanatalent.com/learn-with-me). But, if you have the skill set already then I recommend looking for jobs that allow you to leverage data about people to solve business problems. Or if you are currently employed, by asking your HR team if you could get involved and help support them with an analytics project. Depending on the sensitivity of the data, they may be happy for your help and you would get some good learning and experience. Good luck!
Can IO psychologists work for companies such as Google, Amazon, Apple, etc? If so, what education degree do those companies expect, a master's or Ph.D.?
A masters would be ideal, no company (outside some positions in consulting companies) ask for a phd even as a “nice-to-have” requirement
Do I have to get a PhD to practice as an io psychologist?
Hi Nikayla - I/O Psych isn't like being a clinical psychologist or therapist requiring certain education and certifications. That being said, you would likely need to have deeper experience gained other through a graduate program (could be masters instead of PhD) or you could also work with and learn through experience by working with someone who knows the field and could help you learn and apply what you have from your undergrad. Good luck!
Is it mandate to have a PhD in I/O 🙄 like aren't masters acceptable for job opportunities
Hi Swastik - I know plenty of very successful people in this area who do not have a PhD many have a master's in I/O only. Also, if your question was about job opportunities in People Analytics, an I/O degree wouldn't be required. It's just a job that I believe tends to suit I/O folks really well.
what about defining people analytics
Hi Donna - I have a whole additional video on what is people analytics - feel free to check it out here: th-cam.com/video/Ly80QRik6LI/w-d-xo.html
Is getting a job in this field difficult?
