Significant Impact of Neuroscience in Developing a New Talent Acquisition Strategy

Abstract

This chapter synthesises the key insights of neuroscience and human resources and its impact on understanding human behavior in developing new talent acquisition strategy. Neuroscience, once confined to medical and biological domains, has transcended academic boundaries and infiltrated practical arenas, particularly the modern workplace and HR departments. This interdisciplinary field explores the intricacies of human performance, bridging the gap between scientific research and social sciences. In the realm of HR, these insights hold tremendous potential. Environmental factors, notably culture, wield a profound influence on human behavior, shaping beliefs and values. Experiences, emotions, and cognitive biases further mold individual reactions. Neural pathways formed through experiences guide responses to similar situations, emphasising the profound impact of patterns created in the brain. Emotions, integral to decision-making, are both inputs and outputs, deeply influencing behavior.
