SEASON 2 EPISODE 2

Data with Impact: How data can help improve labour force outcomes

Hosted by Rhetta Chappell

Conversation with ⁠Paul Miles⁠

Nudge theory and behavioural insights can be powerful tools in the context of improving labour market attachment and training outcomes by using data for social good, as they can help encourage individuals to make better decisions without resorting to coercion or restrictions on personal freedom.

By using data and behavioural insights to design effective nudges, organisations and governments can promote positive social outcomes and improve people's lives. Learn how the BUSY Group, one of Australia’s largest for-purpose employment, education and training organisations is harnessing the power of data insights to provide accessible and relevant opportunities to the people and communities they work with. Join us as we discuss the influence behavioural insights can have when implemented ethically and transparently and the potential it unlocks when especially when working with cohorts facing multiple barriers.
