As if the COVID chaos of 2020 and Delta variant of today weren\u2019t enough, practice owners have been challenged with navigating another issue, one that could last well after the virus is contained:<\/p><p>Staffing scarcity.<\/p><p>For the first time since anyone can remember, there are more jobs in the dental industry than people qualified to fill them. With the economy roaring back, the labor shortage doesn\u2019t look to be going away anytime soon. Couple that with a sharp increase in wages that\u2019s creating more turnover and competition than ever, and it\u2019s easy to see why the dental industry is facing unprecedented hiring challenges. Now more than ever, dental practice owners need a solid strategy to target, hire and retain top talent.<\/p><p>According to Paul Edwards, CEO &amp; Co-Founder of long-time CWA partner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedrsolutions.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #33cccc;\">CEDR HR Solutions<\/span><\/a>, the key to attracting and keeping top talent lies within your own practice, not necessarily your checkbook.<\/p><p>\u201cAlmost every practice in every specialty is feeling the staffing squeeze, and competition for good people is high,\u201d says Paul. \u201cThat\u2019s why it\u2019s important to make your practice stand out in more ways than salary.\u201d<\/p><h5>RETAINING TOP TALENT<\/h5><p>At CEDR, Paul makes it a point to ask his client\u2019s long-time employees why they have stayed so long. The overwhelming majority respond with some version of the same answer: \u201dmy practice cares and it shows.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cPractices that operate with empathy and understanding tend to keep their good employees,\u201d says Paul. \u201cThey also have an advantage in hiring because your staff will be talking, either in the practice or outside of it.\u201d<\/p><p>Some of the ways practices operate with empathy that make a big impact on employee morale include:<\/p><ul><li>Implementing a backup plan for employees who need to care for a sick child<\/li><li>Providing competitive benefits and paying attention to improve them as needed<\/li><li>Proactively hiring temp employees when things get busy, not after<\/li><li>Offering ample time off and encouraging employees to take it<\/li><\/ul><p>Paul also counsels his clients to create and implement a well-defined purpose, vision and core values for the practice.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e1aaf90 blue-box elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"e1aaf90\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-32f74682 ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"32f74682\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1cb0daa7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1cb0daa7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201cFor your best employees, these are things that really motivate and matter to them,\u201d says Paul. \u201cBut you can\u2019t just come up with some values and put them on the wall.

Start the conversation by identifying what the company values internally, then end it with how the practice can extend those values to the community. Oftentimes staff are already giving back to the community in various ways, and the practice can adopt the cause and empower the employee to do more of it by getting involved.<\/p><p>Even if the practice owner isn\u2019t necessarily the \u201cunicorns and butterflies\u201d type, Paul says they can still drive the creation of company values with a little leadership at the beginning, then demonstrating the values the team creates going forward.<\/p><p>\u201cWhen an employee understands the company purpose and values, there\u2019s self-actualization in that,\u201d says Paul. \u201cYou will no longer have to engage employees, they get engaged with the job because they\u2019re working towards a collective goal.\u201d<\/p><h5>LANDING TOP TALENT<\/h5><p>In this ultra-competitive environment however, Paul says having your house in order might not be enough to land the top talent. Practice owners have to be ready to strike when top talent comes calling, because candidates that interview well with you are also interviewing well with the practice up the road.<\/p><p>\u201cDon\u2019t be afraid to make an offer quickly, maybe even on the spot,\u201d says Paul. \u201cEven after an offer is made, practice owners should continue the interview process with second and third place candidates, just in case.\u201d<\/p><p>Another important tactic to ensure you\u2019re attracting the best candidates is one Paul calls the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedrsolutions.com\/the-heaviest-lifter-in-hiring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #33cccc;\">heaviest lifter in hiring<\/span><\/a>, the job description. Whether you\u2019re placing the ad on Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter, Indeed or a local job board, the job description should clearly educate candidates on two things:<\/p><ol><li>The full scope of the tasks, duties and expectations associated with the role<\/li><li>The purpose\/vision\/values that make up the culture of the practice<\/li><\/ol><p>Job descriptions with clearly defined expectations weed out the weaker candidates, provide good candidates with points to build on in the interview and gives the practice owner a level of underperformance insurance if the candidate doesn\u2019t work out down the road.<\/p><p>Giving candidates a glimpse into the culture of the practice helps ensure the right person is also the right fit for the team.<\/p><p>\u201cIt gets them excited about the role and the prospect of being part of something bigger and better than where they are now,\u201d says Paul. \u201cCandidates are very interested in knowing or learning about the difference your practice makes in the world and community.\u201d<\/p><p>Paul also encourages owners to get creative with their hiring practices, and that often starts with empowering the entire staff to get involved. Incentivizing employees to help in the search can go a long way.<\/p><p>\u201cJust like your eyes are always open, encourage your employees to be on the lookout for talent as well,\u201d says Paul. \u201cThey might see someone giving great service at the grocery store, and that can translate to the front desk of a dental practice.\u201d<\/p><p>Bottom line is, in this unprecedented environment, practice owners need to be prepared to step out of their comfort zone to find and retain top talent.<\/p><p>\u201cThere\u2019s a direct correlation between profitability and turnover,\u201d says Paul. \u201cBut with the right procedures in place and an aggressive mindset during the interview process, there\u2019s no reason why a practice can\u2019t survive, and even thrive, in this competitive environment.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7a624fe6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"7a624fe6\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4d6b926b blue-box ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"4d6b926b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-114c22c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"114c22c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>For more strategies on how to navigate today\u2019s staffing shortage, or for any other questions surrounding today\u2019s ever-changing business environment, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cainwatters.com\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #33cccc;\">talk to CWA<\/span><\/u><\/a><\/strong>.
