Organizational Psychologists Working w/ Employees

Organizational psychologists can work with employees to assist them in developing their own path to success. Developing a path that gives employees a way to analyze and develop their professional and personal skills will create an environment in which employees will grow to understand their potential for success. This potential will work as a motivator for reaching for success.

Organizational psychologists can use tools such as personality and gifts testing to inform employees of where their strengths lie and which areas need to be developed for success. The self-understanding of an individuals personality and gifts can be freeing to allow employees and employers to put people into positions that are the most appropriate for them.

Another aspect that OP's can contribute to is to in working with managers to develop incentive programs that reward employees for success. Success can be measured by training levels, achievement of goals, and productivity. Incentive programs can be great motivators as long as they are managed in such a way as to not pit one employee against another but rather to encourage the success of everyone.
