Episode 22: Evidence Based Practice - Dr Thomas Evans

Author: And Evolve Ltd September 28, 2020 Duration: 30:34
How can we better use data across organisations to improve decision making and create a more evidence-based practice? Unlike academic research, where variables can be strictly controlled, our work places are not laboratories. It can therefore be difficult to measure concepts such as return on investment. To help answer these questions and more, Dr Thomas Evans joins Amrit Sandhar to share his insights and thoughts. At the end of the podcast, Dr Thomas Evans refers to a scientific paper. The actual paper he meant to highlight was 'A Manifesto for Reproducible Science'.

At the heart of every successful company are the people who show up every day, and Engaging People, Powering Companies-The Leadership Podcast digs into the human dynamics that make organizations thrive. Hosted by And Evolve Ltd, these conversations move beyond abstract theory to examine the real, often messy, work of building great workplace cultures and effective leaders. You’ll hear practical explorations of how genuine employee engagement is fostered, why the employee experience directly impacts results, and what it takes to develop talent at every level. This podcast serves as a resource for anyone curious about the intersection of leadership, learning, and the social fabric of work-from managers seeking to improve their team's productivity to individuals invested in their own growth. Each episode considers how relationships and intentional management shape our professional environments, ultimately linking personal development to organizational health. It’s a thoughtful look at the systems and conversations that power modern companies, grounded in the belief that business is, fundamentally, a human endeavor. Tune in for perspectives that are as much about culture and self-improvement as they are about bottom lines.
