The Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade is proud to introduce BEworks, the world's leading behavioural science firm dedicated to the application of evidence-based solutions to change society and the economy for the better. Behavioural science is the systematic study of the biases and mental short-cuts that explain human behavior and how best to overcome these biases using well-studied, scientifically-tested interventions.
In this session, BEworks will share the research, evidence, and solutions on how to improve diversity and inclusion outcomes for businesses and government leaders motivated to make lasting change. In particular, the research will focus on hiring and promotion efforts within small to large organizations.
