An Evidence-Based Approach to Corporate Citizenship
Behavioral Science
Behavioral science examines human behavior, seeking to understand why human beings make the decisions they do. This is an evidence-based approach encompassing a number of academic disciplines including cognitive science, neuroscience, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and economics.
Neuroscience
The goal of neuroscience is to understand the biological basis of perception, learning, behavior, memory and consciousness. This is achieved by examining the interaction between cognitive behavior and the physical processes of the nervous system facilitating that behavior.
Transformative Learning
Transformative Learning Theory seeks to bring critical awareness of unconscious bias and expectations. This awareness can lead to a "perspective transformation" in how we see ourselves in the world (psychological) what we believe to be true about the world (convictional) and how we act in the world (behavioral).
Bridging the Gap Between Research and Practice
RW Institute removes barriers to employee volunteering and giving through multidisciplinary, coordinated action and research by collecting resources and stakeholders to incubate ideas using evidence-based methodologies, and achieve a sustained pro-social behavior in the workplace.
