CogCo

At CogCo we’ve been reflecting on the fact that in all walks of life, we normally think about the importance of the destination: the goals or objectives we might have in our work or personal lives. But we sometimes forget that the journey we take plays an important role in shaping how we ultimately feel about reaching that destination, whatever it might be. So we’ve been running some studies on the ‘sense of progress effect’. Here’s a blog with the first set of results: https://lnkd.in/ewtrK_PA

📈 *NEW EPISODE* 📈 Every day, we make financial decisions. From what to buy for lunch, to how we organise our pay - money is a central force in our lives. But have you ever considered how you make those choices? In this episode, Emily Trant, explores the behavioural science behind how we make financial decisions, how we are influenced, and whether those choices are rational. Her guest is Owain Service, CEO of CogCo, and previously the co-founder of the UK Government’s Behavioural Insights Team.

Over the past few months, we have been working with Wagestream to develop a new way of measuring the financial wellbeing of people across the country. We're calling it the FinWell Index. In this blog, we explain how we developed the Index, and explore some of the most striking early findings (e.g. that those over 75 score much higher than any other age group). Over the coming months and years, we'll be tracking changes in FinWell scores across the country. One of the things we are interested in doing is looking at the financial wellbeing of employees. So if you'd like to use the FinWell Index in your organisation, drop us a line. Special thanks to Sidney Sherborne who led the analysis. And to Emily Trant at Wagestream for her guidance and support throughout! CogCo Peter Briffett Portman Wills Dr Umar Taj Edward Gardiner https://lnkd.in/etrvFg2c
