Current Research Focus

Workplace Decision-Making

In 2024 the organisation embarked on a journey to understand competency levels, approaches and confidence in workplace decision-making. A cross-industry survey was launched to establish baseline information and data is currently being reviewed now.

GAABS Members will be the first to hear more about the results of this survey when results are released.

The Badge

Members in good standing who have demonstrated competence, a commitment to ethical standards in behavioural science and a dedication to implementing evidence-based work are provided with a badge similar to the below with the current year. Members are encouraged to display badges on their emails and social profiles. If you’re looking to hire a behavioural scientist, or a work with a behavioural science organisation, look out for the GAABS membership badge as a mark of distinction. You can find Certified Individual Members in our online Membership Directory, and find Certified Organisations and Teams here.
