Overview • Introduction • Performance Management • What PM is • How to do it • Pinpointing the problem • Determining Functional Variables • Summary • Additional information
Introduction Application of principles of behavior to: • Individual clients • Entire staff • Workplace environments • Target behaviors: • clinical problems- maladaptive, SIB, aggression • Off task behaviors- wasteful, unsafe, unproductive Bailey & Burch, 2010

Performance Management “Performance Management is a systematic, data-oriented approach to managing people at work that relies on positive reinforcement as a major way to maximize performance.” -Aubrey Daniels Bailey & Burch, 2010

How PM is done… • Initial Referral • Work with a contact • Pinpoint the problem • Direct observation • Informal data collection
Pinpointing the Problem • Decide on a target behavior • Collecting baseline data • Direct observation • Existing records • Find the functional variables that affect the target behavior
Finding Functional Variables • All behavior has a cause! • Where to look? • History of the individual • Discriminative Stimuli • The behavior • The motivation system / Response cost • Schedule of reinforcement
What questions to ask:12 Diagnostic Questions • Antecedent- analysis of the environment prior to pinpoint behavior • What behavior is expected? • Prompt for the behavior? • Is the supervisor present? • Is feedback/reinforcement provided? • Personal problems?
What questions to ask cont. • Equipment • Is it needed? • Does it work? • Physical Environment • Conducive to good performance?
Process Analysis: examining parts of a chain • Is the task done efficiently? • Can the chain be streamlined • Can steps be eliminated? • Training • Can you actually observe the behavior • Can the employees possess the skills?
Consequences in the environment • Contingencies of Reinforcement • Is there an observable effect to behavior? • Are competing behaviors reinforced? • Is there response cost/punishment? • Is there feedback for the behavior? • Intrinsic /extrinsic reinforcement?
Submitting a Proposal • Proposal must include: • Scope of work • Cost • Time estimation
Summary • Performance Management • PM process similar to clinical consultation • Pinpointing the Problem • Determining Functional Variables • Submit a Proposal
