It costs 2 to 3 times an annual salary to replace all but the newest of employees, and that's at almost every level of business. (Yes, a dental practice is a business.) So, it quickly becomes clear the enormous impact employees can have if they are not happy. The long and short of it is simple: if dentist and practice leaders do not invest the resources now, before employees leave, then they run the risk of spending even more time, energy, money – resources – replacing employees who quit from being burned out.
However, there is good news! We are not talking about a large financial investment in technology or infrastructure. We are talking about very simple techniques that result in an investment in human capital.
Listening to what your employees – your team – are actually saying is powerful, and if they are saying, “You know what would help my long-term mental health?, then taking a bit of time to understand the people around you can go a longer way in decreasing burnout and increasing morale.
Our mission is to give you tools and techniques that you can use, immediately!
