Are you Hiring Smart??


Are you hiring Smart?
 
How is your hiring process going?  Are you finding the best of the best to work for your dental office? It is true the war for talent is getting more challenging, but who are you attracting?

Your initial job posting will express your culture.  For instance, if you are a fun office and want to add a positive person with a high sense of humor, make sure to use words that contain high energy and fun!  If you want to attract a dental hygienist with a strong interest in professional growth and adding new patient treatment options; offer continuing education reimbursements and incentives.


 
In the words of Steve Jobs, “It doesn’t make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do.”

Holiday Ho-Down

Holiday Ho-down

Happy Holidays!  It is the most wonderful time of the year!  No doubt you have made your plans for the Office Christmas party and discussed with the accountant the bonus amount you are handing out to your team.  A few thoughts on this time:  Be sure to invite the team to the dinner or activity.  If this event is required, then an hourly wage expectation should be fulfilled. I advise the holiday gathering be a non-mandatory event there so no expectation of being paid an hourly wage.  It is also a personal touch of sincere appreciation to physically hand each employee their bonus envelope.  Please verbalize how they make your practice better and how you look forward to working together in 2018!  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
