About

Your Brain at Work has been developed as part of a nationwide workplace program co-sponsored by The Conference Board Mature Workforce Initiative and The Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives with support from The Atlantic Philanthropies.

The Your Brain at Work project began with the development of the booklet Your Brain at Work: Making the Science of Cognitive Fitness Work for You, a tool for workers to enhance their cognitive skills and work smarter on the job and off.

As a sequel, The Conference Board and The Dana Alliance have developed YourBrainatWork, an interactive website that informs human resource professionals, individual workers, and the general public about the human brain's learning and memory functions and how they continue to help us keep learning, whether we are 25 or 65. The website picks up where Your Brain at Work: Making the Science of Cognitive Fitness Work for You ends, providing new insights into this complex human organ. If you would like to learn more about the initial booklet or provide copies of it to your co-workers and employees as part of a wellness or human resources initiative, please contact The Conference Board Customer Service at 212 339 0345.
