Explore the relationship between work & human development with WISIS members
We created WISIS in 1987 to focus on the understanding the relationship of work to human development, motivation, and performance in a wide variety of settings. The WISIS provides a forum for networking with peers and other professionals, a means to access clinical resources, and a way to share emerging service delivery systems.
