Founded in 1982 and based in the USA, SIOP is the leading professional society for the science and practice of industrial-organisational (I-O) psychology. To be named a Fellow is a significant achievement, and reflects Ishbel’s exceptional contributions to the field, her dedication to advancing the science and practice of I-O psychology, and her influence on her professional community.
The nomination was instrumental in showcasing Dr. McWha-Hermann's extraordinary accomplishments…and highlighted their significant impact in I-O psychology, and whose research and work have made contributions to tackling global poverty and inequality and developing the field of Humanitarian Work Psychology. It was clear that Dr McWha-Hermann is held in the highest regard by colleagues and peers.SIOP Fellowship Committee

On being admitted as a Fellow, Ishbel said: ‘I am deeply honoured to receive this recognition from SIOP. Having been a member for almost 20 years, I have benefited greatly from the conversations and connections that have come from being part of this incredible community of work and organisational psychologists. I am genuinely on cloud-9 to have my work recognised in this way!’
