Motivated employees work harder, they're more likely to stay with the practice a long time, and pay attention to patients and their needs. Some of the most common reasons employees leave a job include feeling disengaged, lack of workload balance and accountability, or unfairness. Tell-tale signs of problems include workload inefficiencies and staff attrition, creating a detrimental impact on their entire practice.

In contrast, engaged teams are linked to lower staff turnover rates which can lead to cost savings for the organization. Team engagement is a well-documented component of high-quality patient care. When employees feel respected and valued they are more likely to have a positive impact on high-quality patient care.

Self-paced online program includes unlimited review of previously recorded instruction and the downloadable PowerPoint handout for 6 months.
