The Behavioural Insights Team

 

 

Sam Hanes is the head of the team’s extensive work on employment. This has included the development of large scale Randomised Controlled Trials within Jobcentres, testing ways in which behavioural insights can support jobseekers back to work. Sam's work on employment has gone from working in one Jobcentre to national implementation – including the training of over 20,000 members of staff. 

 

He joined the Behavioural Insights Team in 2010 soon after it was created and has worked on a wide range of behavioural insights projects over the years including health; consumer empowerment; fraud, debt and error; and economic growth.
