Organizational Changes Services
Managing organizational changes requires more than reengineering and restructuring systems and processes. It requires managing the human responses that accompany any organizational change. When your organization is in transition you need managers and employees collaborating together and continuing to work productively to manage day to day business and meet your organizational goals.
Central Florida Psychological Consultants has developed programs designed to assist organizations who wish to maximize employee commitment to the change process. Conducted by experienced trainers and facilitators, our staff can work with all levels of your organization, from executive level to front line staff, providing the tools to help participants not only embrace organizational change, but to master it as well.
360 Degree Assessment
The purpose of a 360 Degree Assessment is to provide each participant with structured and constructive feedback regarding their specific approach to management or the workplace. This type of evaluation can also contribute to an employee’s or individual's development by providing valuable information on personal and professional areas of learning and growth.
In many companies, 360º assessments are growing in popularity and importance as a method for evaluating employees. The goal is to give employees feedback from their supervisors, peers, direct reports and customers (i.e., 360 degrees from all points around the job compass) which is compared to their self-assessment. This feedback is used to highlight job-related strengths and areas for development.
By using a number of different sources, 360º assessments recognize the complexity of managers' roles and that input from a number of different sources can allow for a more comprehensive view of their performance.
360º assessments also promote organizational development by specifying dimensions of work-related behaviors that are important to the company's future management strategies and by clarifying management's performance expectations.

Psychological Screenings
Psychological examinations contribute to the identification of emotionally stable candidates for public safety work, such as police officers and firefighters. The liability implications of choosing the wrong person are enormous. These occupations require the ability to withstand pressure, make rapid decisions, and handle emotionally charged situations effectively.
Psychological screenings that include an interview and a test battery can often identify individuals who might not have the personal qualities necessary for public safety work. Departments know that it is crucial to screen applicants before hired and before money is invested in their training. Public Safety requires the absence of serious psychological problems and the capacity to tolerate stress and pressure. Let Central Florida Psychological Consultants help you with your psychological screenings.
What is a Critical Incident
A Critical Incident or a Traumatic Event is defined as an event outside the range of usual human experience which has the potential to easily overcome a person's normal ability to cope with stress. It may produce a negative psychological response in a person who was involved in or witnessed such an incident.
Critical Incidents in a workplace environment, include, but are not limited to:
Aggravated Assaults
Robbery
Suicide or attempted suicide
Murder
Sudden or unexpected death of a work colleague
Hostage or siege situations
Discharge of firearms
Vehicle accidents involving injury and/or substantial property damage
Acts of self harm by persons in the care of others
Industrial accidents involving serious injury or fatality
Any other serious accidents or incidents
Emotional Reactions to a Critical Incident
It is very common, in fact quite normal, for people to experience emotional or stress reaction after a critical incident. Sometimes the emotional reactions occur shortly after a critical incident and sometimes they are delayed for some time. The severity of the reactions and the time frame over which they occur varies from person to person.
With understanding and support from loved ones or close friends the stress reactions usually pass more quickly. When severe stress reactions persist, professional assistance from a Counselor is beneficial in assisting the person manage the condition. If this occurs, call us at 352.365.2243.
At Risk or Fitness for Duty Evaluations
There are times when an employee may manifest behavior in the workplace that is considered inappropriate and/or worrisome. Management as well as co-workers become concerned about safety, work performance and/or disciplinary issues. If an organization has an EAP, the individual may be referred for an assessment. However, the situation may be so difficult that a more extensive and comprehensive evaluation is required in order to determine the appropriate intervention and/or employment accommodations.
Central Florida Psychological Consultants provides an "at risk" assessment that includes a clinical interview as well as an extensive battery of psychological tests. Further, a detailed report is generated with limited "psychobabble" and specific recommendations for work accommodations and professional intervention. Of course, this is all done with a signed informed consent form from the employee. Upon request, the employee may also receive a copy of the evaluation. Call us at 352.365.2243.
