Abstract: Behavior analytic organizations are facing a paradox: despite our expertise in behavior change, many fall short in applying Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) principles internally, leading to suboptimal outcomes in consumer satisfaction, employee retention, and operational budget. Our panel addresses this critical gap by focusing on enhancing performance through well-structured coaching systems at three levels: organizational, process, and performance management. We argue for leadership to craft systems that increase the delivery of positive reinforcement for value-added behavior utilizing pinpointing, goal-setting, and feedback loops to solidify the link between employee efforts and organizational goals. With deficient internal communication continuously presenting as a barrier for organizational functionality, we'll discuss the importance of how establishing clear communication processes as part of an effective system can drastically improve productivity and engagement, further amplifying service quality. Attendees will gain practical solutions designed to elevate their organization's performance and, consequently, the quality of services provided to our end consumers.
