You've got the wellbeing programme, the onboarding journey, the culture vision. And yet: employees read it, nod, and carry on with their day. Learn how to design HR policy that actually gets people moving, using practical behavioural science and AI as your toolkit.

AI can write onboarding content and put together wellbeing programmes in seconds. But without an understanding of human behaviour, the output lacks a foundation. When you understand how employees really make decisions, you brief AI better and design HR interventions that genuinely stick. A proven method rooted in behavioural science, amplified with AI. The difference is never the technology. It's the people.
Individually, with your HR team, or organisation-wide: there are different ways to learn.
What is Behavioural Design for HR professionals? Behavioural Design is the application of behavioural science to people practices and HR strategy. Rather than assuming employees respond to information and incentives alone, it teaches you to map the psychological forces driving behaviour at work, and design interventions that genuinely change how people act, not just what they know. The SUE Influence Framework gives you a repeatable method for doing this in practice.
Learn individually from the foundations or go deeper. Live in Amsterdam or online at your own pace.
Train your HR team together. In-company, at your location or at our Amsterdam studio.
Embed behavioural thinking in your HR organisation with a bespoke multi-year learning and development programme.
Four shifts that HR professionals name again and again after completing the training.
No more programmes that look great on paper but don't work in practice. You analyse why people do what they do, and design interventions that match how they actually make decisions.
From "we think this works" to "we know why this works." You back up your HR strategy with behavioural science. That makes you a more credible partner for the board and senior leadership.
Why aren't employees using the new system? Why isn't the wellbeing programme working? You learn to identify the behavioural forces that cause resistance and design interventions that remove them.
With behavioural frameworks as your foundation, you prompt AI with precision. You know which triggers to activate and which barriers to remove. The result: sharper analysis, better interventions, less trial and error.
Need to convince your line manager? Here's what concretely changes when your HR team learns Behavioural Design:
Most participants start without any prior knowledge, and that's exactly the point. The training teaches you the behavioural science you need, linked directly to your own HR practice. No academic theory for theory's sake, just actionable insights you can apply the very next day in your onboarding, retention or culture work.
You learn the SUE Influence Framework: a method for analysing why employees do what they do, and for designing HR interventions that genuinely work. You work on your own HR case during the training (onboarding, retention, culture change or a wellbeing programme) and go home with a fully worked-out strategy. Copywriters use it for sharper messages. HR professionals use it for better policy. The same framework, applied directly to your context.
The training is most valuable for experienced HR professionals. You've got the practical experience. The training gives you the scientific framework that backs up your intuition and sharpens your approach. Many participants say afterwards: I was already doing parts of this, but now I finally understand why some programmes work and others don't.
You'll be in a deliberately mixed group, with professionals from all sorts of sectors and fields. HR professionals, marketers, communication advisers, policymakers and leaders all sit together. Maximum 16 participants per group. That mix is what makes the training so valuable: you don't just learn from the content, but also from how people in other sectors run into similar behavioural challenges. Participants consistently name the peer-to-peer learning as one of the most valuable parts.
Start with the Fundamentals. That gives you the complete Behavioural Design framework: the Influence Framework, the JTBD method and all the core tools. The Advanced Course builds on that with deeper persuasion psychology and framing techniques. Without the Fundamentals, the Advanced lacks its foundation.
Yes. We invoice in the company name and the training is EQAC-accredited, which makes reimbursement easier. The For Your Manager section above gives you the business arguments you can use in your request.
You go home with a complete Behavioural Design Toolkit: the SUE Influence Framework Canvas, the JTBD method, cheat cards for CAN, WANT and AGAIN interventions, the Behavioural Interview Guide, Behavioural Statement worksheet, System 1 and 2 guide and the Prototyping Guide. You also get lifetime access to the BD Club, the BD × AI Guru and an EQAC-accredited certificate. For the live training, there's also a follow-up session after 6 weeks.
