Resources to help you understand how to apply behavioural science to HR and L&D in the workplace
Behavioural science builds an understanding of how people react psychologically and respond behaviourally to interventions, environments and stimuli. In a work context, an understanding of behavioural science can help develop HR management, reward systems, and effective organisation performance. Here you’ll find information which explores the behavioural science of HR, executive reward, and recruitment and selection.
Our research, Our minds at work: Developing the behavioural science of HR, explores how behavioural science has a wide relevance to many, if not all, aspects of workplace behaviour and performance.
Interest in behavioural science has risen significantly over the past decade with industries as diverse as finance, energy and media, using its insights to improve resilience, innovation and leadership development. Take up in HR, however, has been slower, with many professionals unsure where to begin or how to apply behavioural science insights in their own organisations.
