Employee engagement has never been more important to the success of your practice.
Adversity is the mother of engagement.
Right now, you have a crisis to get through. Your team is looking to you for answers, and, naturally, you are doing all you can to help everyone at your practice work through each twist and turn together.
Clearly, this isn’t how you intended to get it, but, now more than ever, you have your employees’ attention.
From entry-level to the executive level, the entire business world is focused on one thing and one thing only at this moment -- getting through this crisis and back to “normal.” As a result, you have an extraordinary opportunity as a business owner to leverage your strategic HR and business planning efforts as a way to power through this shutdown and come back with your team stronger than it has ever been.
Whether you have two employees or two-hundred, an engaged team is a team that shows up with the drive, desire, and ideas your business needs to bring your patients and your practice back together.

With a solid start to 2020, orthodontists had every expectation to continue the year on course until an insidious microscopic virus exploded and our world changed in 15 days. Practices are facing the most profound and extreme business challenges imaginable. With mandated or voluntary practice closure, loss of production, employee payroll concerns, and ongoing patient care, the worst conceivable nightmare became a reality. Through all the chaos, we are a resilient group and there is great opportunity to re-engineer systems and re-set the course for a strong recovery.
During this down time, get things done … refocus, re-engineer, reorganize. Embrace change. Most importantly stay in front of patients through various social media channels. Launch and complete those projects that could never get started. Mary Beth will share “best practice ideas” as well as actions the 360 team are witnessing from clients and colleagues. With actionable suggestions, you will be able to organize a “go forward” plan that will fast track a strong re-start!
