In 2023, the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) reported that there were over 160,000 registered behavior technicians (RBTs) certified to deliver behavior analytic services. Previous research suggests that RBTs experience varying levels of burnout and turnover intention. Providing employees breaks at work is one strategy that may decrease burnout and turnover. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 RBTs working in clinics, schools, and homes to inquire about their experiences with taking breaks at work. The results of the thematic analysis yielded the following themes: (1) breaks are important and necessary; (2) break conditions vary; and (3) support for taking breaks is mixed. The implications of these findings and recommendations for employees, supervisors, and organizations are discussed. |
