Team Performance Management – Appraisals and Compensation

Do you relish discussing performance with your employees, or do you prefer a more hands-off approach? Is dealing with annual reviews and pay increases one of your least favorite times of the year? Our experience has shown us that most dentists don’t actually engage their team members in a process that focuses on improved performance and professional development – and the result is typically a frustrated doctor and an underperforming team. And often dentists, uncomfortable with discussing where the practice is and where it’s headed, will grant staff pay increases even though they can’t afford to give themselves a raise.

We understand the role of each dental practice team member and we can help you better manage your team’s performance. Based on a process similar to the one used by successful large companies, we’ve created a dental-specific approach designed to integrate team member goals with your practice goals. We’ll ensure your team members clearly understand your performance expectations, make certain that pay levels correlate to demonstrated performance rather than longevity, and help you gain confidence and reduce stress associated with managing your staff.
