Part 1: Hiring and Firing with Confidence: Hiring the right candidate for the job is a critical task for every dentist and manager, and it takes more than poor performance and righteous anger to safely and fairly terminate an employee. You need an arsenal of proven strategies and an intimate knowledge of state and federal laws in order to stay in line with the law. This segment of the presentation will cover both. Part 2: Managing and Strategic Planning: We will discuss advanced techniques for managing a team within a strategic action plan. Whether you have two employees or 200, establishing your mission and core values is the first step towards maintaining an environment where everyone on your team can become independent thinkers and take action without having to be led every step of the way. Part 3: Employment Law and Policy Updates: Every year, hundreds of employment laws are added or changed at both the federal and state levels. As an employer, you must be 100% compliant with all of these laws 100% of the time, and your employee handbook is your most powerful tool for complying with all of these laws. But will your employee handbook protect your organization, like a shield, from liability? Poorly written, borrowed, or incomplete handbooks can result in major problems for your organization, including lawsuits.
