The Operant Name

Operant was selected as our company name because of the principles of Operant Conditioning and their relevance to workplace behavior and organizational systems that facilitate productivity and high performance.

Operant conditioning works because individuals, when motivated to do so through available rewards, will change their behaviors to those that are instrumental to the organization and result in the individual attaining the valued rewards. This simple but important concept means that an individual is in control of his actions and maneuvers through his environment to attain the goals that result in rewards he desires.

A necessary element for optimizing performance within an organization is that the people hired possess the necessary knowledge, skills, abilities and other relevant characteristics to do the work necessary to attain the rewards. Hiring the right people results in optimal business performance and is, hence, the ultimate source of competitive advantage.

At Operant, we have created unique hiring practices that optimize person-job fit, and we understand that the power of operant conditioning can be harnessed within the workplace to increase performance and maximize rewards for those who achieve desired results, creating strong business cultures and sustainable business successes.

Operant services and solutions create the foundation for competitive advantage and the organizational levers for generating optimal business results. If you are interested in learning more about Operant systems, please contact us today.
