Richard Thaler on the "Architecture of Choice" By: Published: Jan 24, 2019 While many employers have traditionally viewed their younger employees as their most precious assets, the truth is that their more seasoned workers are often their most valuable.

The book includes: * creative strategies for recruiting retirees and developing a senior friendly workplace * career and performance management techniques for effectively motivating and engaging older workers * instructional design facilitation methods that will enable older workers to upgrade their skills.

In a new book, Nudge, Economist Richard Thaler and legal scholar Cass Sunstein, invite us into an alternative world, one that takes our humanness as a given. They show that by knowing how people think, we can design choice environments that make it easier for them to choose what is best for themselves, their families, and their society. Richard H. Thaler is the Ralph and Dorothy Keller Distinguished Service Professor of Behavioral Science and Economics and the director of the Center for Decision Research at the University of Chicago's Graduate School of Business.AMA_Edgewise_0823.mp3
