Dr. Gail Steptoe-Warren

MY RESEARCH VISION

My research is inspired by the ability to make an impact.  For example, working with West Midland’s Fire Service to develop a tool to assess operational preparedness in fire personnel.

I am also inspired by diverse areas within occupational psychology where little research has been conducted such as counter-productive work behaviours.
