Who Should Attend
All HR professionals will benefit from this masterclass as employees make decisions in all aspects of their work-life, and are therefore influenced by their own biases and mental shortcuts.

Course Introduction
Published in 2008, the book Nudge by Richard Thaler and Cass Sustein was a global hit that made the concept of behavioural economics turn mainstream. Richard Thaler went on to receive the Nobel prize in Economics in 2017. Behavioural economics “built a bridge between the economic and psychological analyses of individual decision-making”, introducing a seismic shift in how governments plan policies through the creation of Nudge Units and the like, and how companies approach their marketing and communications, especially in the consumer world.
But can behavioural economics apply to the word of HR, and in particular of Performance & Reward?
Awareness is the first step towards capitalising on or minimising the influence of biases. This masterclass will introduce some of the most important concepts of behavioural science, highlighting their repercussions on various aspects of how organisations design and implement their Total Rewards approaches and Performance Management.
