What does a behavior change consultant do?

A Behavior Change Consultant helps individuals, organizations, or communities adopt healthier, safer, or more productive behaviors. They use evidence-based strategies from psychology and behavioral science to design and implement interventions that encourage positive change. Their work often involves assessing needs, developing tailored programs, providing training, and measuring the effectiveness of these interventions. They may work in areas such as health promotion, workplace wellness, public health, or education.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a behavior change consultant?

To thrive as a Behavior Change Consultant, you need expertise in behavioral science, program evaluation, and data analysis, often supported by a degree in psychology, public health, or a related field. Familiarity with behavioral assessment tools, survey platforms, and data visualization software is typically required. Exceptional communication, motivational interviewing, and problem-solving skills help consultants engage clients and drive sustainable change. These skills are vital for designing effective interventions and achieving measurable improvements in individual or organizational behavior.

How does a behavior change consultant collaborate with other professionals?

Behavior Change Consultants often work closely with multidisciplinary teams, including healthcare providers, HR professionals, or educators, depending on the setting. Collaboration usually involves conducting needs assessments, co-designing intervention strategies, and providing training or resources to support sustainable behavior change. Regular communication and feedback sessions help ensure that interventions are tailored and integrated into organizational practices. This collaborative approach not only enhances the effectiveness of interventions but also supports professional growth through exposure to diverse perspectives and expertise.

While both roles aim to promote healthier behaviors, a Behavior Change Consultant typically works on designing and implementing behavior change strategies for organizations or communities, often requiring specialized certifications. A Health Coach primarily works directly with individuals to improve their health through personalized coaching, with certifications focused on wellness and nutrition. Both roles are essential in health promotion but differ in scope, setting, and target audience.

Who We Are

Emerson Human Capital Consulting Inc. is a change management consulting company with a passion for turning people potential into business performance. We are experts in behavior change. Clients call us when they need to transform, improve operations, deploy new strategy or technology, or enable employees to perform at a new level.

What We Do
  • Transformation: Achieving rapid, high-stakes change and creating change capability for the next ascent.
  • Change Management: Driving smooth, efficient implementation of any change, and securing sustained results.
  • Organization Design: Developing organization structures and roles to enable business strategy.
  • Learning & Development: Building the skills, knowledge, tools, culture, and environment people need for exceptional performance.
  • Communication: Ensuring people receive the right information at the right time.
  • Technology Change: Enabling the benefits of technology by influencing human performance. 

 

Why Emerson?
  • We were the first US company with a large team of full-time employees specializing only in behavior change. We employ only experts, like you. We’re not an IT consultancy or an accounting firm that also has a specialized practice – critical behavior change is all we do.
  • We are thought leaders in human performance. For example, the Association for Talent Development published our book series, which covers some of our favorite principles, tips and lessons learned: The Change Book, The Learning & Development Book, and The Technology Change Book.
  • We deliver for the best. We are the choice of some of the most successful and well-known companies in the world. We don’t like to drop names, mostly because our lawyers won’t let us. But if we did, we could tell you about an iconic clothing brand, an oil and gas giant, a global leader in hospitality, and a company that makes really fast shoes. Just to not name a few.

Candidates who are currently employed by a client of Emerson Human Capital Consulting might not be eligible for consideration. Applicants for employment in the U.S. must have unrestricted work authorization which does not require sponsorship by the employer for a visa.
