Strong societies depend on the connection between citizens and government. Since The Behavioural Insight Team’s creation, we have worked to embed a clearer understanding of human behaviour at the heart of government policy creation, while also helping members of public society to make better decisions for themselves.
At BIT we check untapped potential to foster better links between groups in our society, such as helping new arrivals settle into their community or supporting individuals struggling with loneliness.
Our work with the government has led us to a trusted position, allowing us to connect those in need with officials who can lend a helping hand or provide expert advice. Behavioural science has proven to be a vital tool, fostering healthy relationships between government and society to help create a better place for everyone.
