This presentation delves into the crucial first step before any training intervention: performance analysis. By understanding whether your staff truly lack skills or simply need better tools, feedback, or simplified tasks, you can tailor interventions that directly address the root of their challenges. We'll explore effective methods to assess the real needs of Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and similar positions, demonstrating how to determine if training, or perhaps a different support strategy, is the answer. Learn to distinguish between a training gap and other solvable issues within your team's performance ecosystem. Join us to transform your approach to staff development, ensuring that every solution is not just a shot in the dark, but a strategic move towards greater efficacy. Leave ready to apply a more precise, impactful analysis technique that truly enhances your team's performance.
