How Your Workplace Might Be Making Bad Decisions For You
An environment speaks a thousand words
The objects around our homes and our offices say a lot more than we think they do. And sometimes, they don’t exactly say what we want.
Research has shown that environments themselves can convey which behaviors are considered ‘normal’ when people are in them. They even encourage certain types of behavior when people enter them.
In an age where consulting and co-working spaces are the new norm, and offices are no longer where an employee will stay from 9-5 for the next thirty years, do we want our workplaces to be conveying the wrong messages? Can we really afford for employees to be surrounded by an environment that stifles their productivity and their work?
But how do you change what message you are putting out there?

“
I was blown away with their application and translation of behavioral science into practice. They took a very complex ecosystem and created a series of interventions using an innovative mix of the latest research and creative client co-creation. I was so impressed at the final product they created, which was hugely comprehensive despite the large scope of the client being of the world's most far-reaching and best known consumer brands. I'm excited to see what we can create together in the future.
