Just delighted to see this published in time for #IWD. A truly helpful guide for employers on evidence-based EDI strategies. Was a pleasure to work with @ESDC_GC @Sonia_Kang @karinlacroix @s_tregebov and Shoshana Davidson on this!

So excited this is out! Turns out we were all wrong: formal government communications are more effective than informal ones. (What?!)

Thrilled to see our pioneering research on the investor protection risks posed by 'gamification' covered in the @globeandmail 🤓🥳📰 https://t.co/ZOTysK78YK. Work was led by @lauracallender8 and @salomonballada.

Evaluation is critical for spending limited resources wisely. In 🇨🇦 we partnered with @unitedwayhh @oakparknc @canadapostcorp to show experimentation can be practical and cost-effective👇
➡️Nonprofits do critical work but reaching new people is hard, especially w/limited resources Behavioural insights can help find approaches that work - not least by understanding what DOESN'T work ⬇️ https://t.co/oxpUtvQpl9

Fascinating piece from @s_tregebov and @brikirkpatrick from BIT Canada on how behavioural science can and should feed into the design of regulation
#Regulation is fundamentally about behaviour. It’s time to leverage all that behavioural science has to offer — argue @s_tregebov and @brikirkpatrick at the @B_I_Tweets team
