Preparing for Consultation (6.03)-The behavior analyst implements or consults on behavior management programs for which the behavior analyst has been adequately prepared • Should you ethically take a position working for an organization in which you have no prior experience and/or you will not receive training? • What if something on the job arises that you have no prior experience with? • Get a consultant with prior experience

  8. Employees Interventions (6.04)-The behavior analyst develops interventions that benefit the employees as well as management • Money $$$ • Employees • Interventions to increase profits and benefit employees

  9. Employee Health and Well Being (6.05)-The behavior analyst develops interventions that enhance the health and well being of the employees • Should any intervention be implemented if it endangers the employees? • NO • Interventions should be carefully designed
