At Work Psychology Group (WPG), we are a highly respected, research-led organisational psychology consultancy with a global reach. Since our founding in 2003 by Professor Fiona Patterson and Dr Máire Kerrin, we’ve been dedicated to bridging the gap between cutting-edge psychological research and the real-world challenges faced by organisations.

Our team of highly trained organisational psychologists, based in the UK and internationally, bring a deep insight and practical experience to every project. Using a breadth of research and diagnostic skills, we support our clients to manage large scale recruitment drives, develop and embed organisational values, and implement selection and development tools to help support interviews or career progression. We often act as a critical friend, supporting and providing advice or evaluation services in partnership with our clients.

We regularly publish in academic journals, speak at international conferences, and contribute to influential business networks—ensuring our clients benefit from the latest thinking and evidence-based approaches.

At the heart of everything we do is promoting fairness, inclusion and diversity – we are passionate about closing the skills gap and engaging the workforce.
