\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\nInstead of looking elsewhere for someone to fill a spot, try offering up the role to your current employees. This gives employees a clear path to advancement whereas hiring from the outside can lead to frustration and dissatisfaction. You want your employees to see a future for themselves at your practice.<\/p>\n
Foster open communication<\/h2>\n
Holding regular meetings between your employees and upper level management gives them a chance to offer up ideas or ask questions. This helps your employees feel more respected as well as encourages them to speak frankly without fear of retribution.<\/p>\n
Use contests and rewards<\/h2>\n
When done right, contests can help spar lighthearted competition and help employees get excited to do their jobs. You can also offer stock options or other financial rewards for those who meet their performance goals and stay for a predetermined amount of time (three years, five years, you get where we are going with this). You can also create some sort of yearly or quarterly bonus structure.<\/p>\n
Support employee development<\/h2>\n
Whether you hold onsite training sessions or offer employees a stipend to find their own, this shows your employees that you want to invest in them.<\/p>\n
As you can see, employees are most likely to stay if they feel appreciated and valued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
