The Behavioural Insights Team ran a 6 month Randomized Controlled Trial with Jobcentre Plus in Essex to test the impact of several changes to the way the centre operates, specifically through commitment devices & emphasis on building psychological resilience. They found job seekers in the treatment group 15-20% more likely to be off benefits 13 weeks after signing on.
