Abstract: 

As Behavior Analysts, we should all be experts in providing performance evaluations given our training in defining expected behaviors, collecting data, and implementing antecedent and consequent strategies. However, the reality is many organizations struggle with developing, implementing, monitoring, and updating these systems for their employees. Successful performance evaluations require significant amounts of knowledge, coordination, and time across members of the organization. We will review a few different methods for evaluation of behavior technicians, BCBA's, and director-level staff followed by a group discussion of successes, challenges, and solutions.
