Why do employees leave training inspired… only to revert to old habits days later?
In this episode of Management Matters, Jane sits down with learning scientist Dr. Gina Anderson to explore what truly drives sustained behavior change at work. Drawing from cognitive science and real-world application, Dr. Anderson breaks down the mechanics of motivation, memory, and reinforcement—and why most workplace learning initiatives fail to translate into action.
Together, they examine the gap between knowing and doing. They discuss how the brain encodes habits, why repetition and retrieval matter more than one-time events, and how leaders can intentionally design systems that reinforce the behaviors they want to see.
You’ll hear insights on:
The science behind motivation and follow-through
Why information alone does not change behavior
How reinforcement and recall strengthen new habits
What organizations must build into their culture to drive lasting change
If you are serious about moving beyond “check-the-box” training and creating measurable performance shifts, this conversation offers both the science and the strategy to make it happen.
Listen in and rethink how real behavior change actually works.
