A universal problem occurring in group practice is the recruitment and retention of associates. Hiring and integrating associates into practice operations and culture is a constant issue, both for emerging and established group practices. Generational differences exist. Variances in expectations occur. World views differ. Communication difficulties arise. In any group practice that depends on high performance, responsibility and commitment to the values, vision and mission, a gap often exists between tenured doctor-owners and associates.
The larger group practices have an advantage given their resources and their relationships with dental schools, often with their own recruiting departments. Nevertheless, your practice growth and expansion critically depend on associates. Expanded ownership is contingent on associates. Creating and maintaining your future rests on associates.
How does an emerging or smaller established group practice successfully compete for and retain associates? Mastery Associate SUMMIT, held on Sept 29-October 1st, 2016 at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa in Scottsdale AZ, is a unique conference where world class experts will provide valuable insight on this often difficult topic. Industry experts will focus on Legal, HR, Leadership, Management, and the multi-generational aspects of assimilating dental associates. Register HERE today as spots are limited.
