9.45 – 11.00 Employee Behaviour – influencing more than just the bottom-line – Erik Vermeulen – Behavioural Economics Strategist
While most employees are vastly unaware of the company’s strategies and goals, successful companies are often those that effectively link business behaviour to employee behaviour. This allows employees to move away from their own interests as their primary motivation in the office, while allowing them to feel engaged and giving them a visible goal to work towards, both personally and professionally. In this manner, a purpose driven culture is fostered, minimising conflict and allowing people to work together constructively.
