Behavioural Design training for HR

The policy is on paper, and in the workplace everyone does what they always did.

How much effect your HR policy has depends on how much influence you have on the choices and behaviour of managers and employees. Fortunately, that can be learnt. In our online course you learn how to make policy that really changes what people do at work.

HR professionals after the two days
In two days you are introduced to a new way of thinking and new models that make you question a lot of traditional insights. I leave the Academy with so much energy to actively apply the principles and to link them to HR and employer branding.
Goedele PanisHR Manager, Ebema

Gained an enormous amount of knowledge in 2 days, which you also immediately learn to apply in practice. Besides the fact that the training is a huge eye-opener, it is also a lot of fun.

The path

The same method, online, at your own pace.

Lesson by lesson you work on one question: why does your employee do what they do? You apply it straight away with the tools of the SUE Influence Framework©. Then the fix: how do you make the behaviour you want to see the easiest choice, and how do you put AI to work on it? In 33 lessons at your own pace you collect downloads and tools you use for your own onboarding, absence approach or review cycle on Monday.

Through your employer

How to get your employer on board

Most participants take the training on their employer’s budget or their own training budget. The VAT invoice goes to your organisation: €1,490 excl. VAT. Open the email below, fill in three things and send it to your manager.

Subject: Request for the training The Art of Influence©Dear [name], I would like to attend SUE's training The Art of Influence©: two days in Amsterdam on [date], 1,490 euros excl. VAT. SUE invoices [organisation] directly. A lot of our HR work comes down to behaviour: new policy that has to land, colleagues who need to come along with a change. We usually try to fix that with better arguments. The SUE method turns that round: first understand why someone does or doesn't do something, then design the situation so the behaviour we want becomes the easy option. The training works with real examples from practice. I bring back the Influence Framework, the templates and cheat cards, and use them afterwards on [project or question]. I also come back with an EQAC-accredited certificate. If you agree, I will book this week. Best regards, [name]
Which one is on your desk?

Six questions every HR professional recognises.

How do I keep good people?

People rarely leave for one reason. It is usually a pile of small moments where they did not feel seen.

More on happiness at work →

How do I bring sickness absence down?

Absence often starts small, with work that takes a lot and gives little. If you spot those moments, you can change something sooner.

More on sustainable employability →

Why do managers not hold the conversations as intended?

A good conversation takes time and feels awkward. Make doing it well easier than skipping it.

More on leadership →

Why does new policy not land in the workplace?

Policy tells people what they must do. In the workplace, what is easy and what colleagues do wins.

More on behaviour change →

How do I help new starters settle in well?

In the first weeks, people decide whether they want to stay. Make sure they finish something quickly and know who to turn to.

More on culture change →

How do I bring employees along with AI?

Fear and uncertainty slow people down more than the technology. Start with one task where it saves time straight away.

Frequently asked questions

What HR professionals ask before they sign up.

I know nothing about behavioural science. Is this still right for me as an HR professional?

Most participants start without any prior knowledge. You learn exactly the behavioural science you need, and you apply it straight away to real-life examples. Afterwards you know how to use it in your policy, programmes and conversations.

I have worked in HR for years. Will I still learn something new?

That is exactly when it pays off. You already know the instruments. The training shows why they often change nothing in the workplace. After two days you know what to change about the situation.

Who will I be in the group with?

A mixed group of up to 16 people: marketers, HR, communications, lawyers, policymakers and managers. The mix is on purpose. You see how someone from another sector wrestles with exactly the same kind of question.

Can I claim this back from my employer?

Yes. We invoice in your company’s name and the training is EQAC-accredited. That makes reimbursement easier. Need a quote or more information for your request? Get in touch.
