An effective Employee Referral Program should be ever evolving, with the help of your dental team. How will you measure its success? Start by establishing clear key performance indicators (KPIs) that reflect the program’s objective. This will help you gauge success and identify areas of adjustment. Gathering feedback from participants through surveys, focus groups, and exit interviews will also give you the insight you need to make informed changes to your program. Swipe for a list of the metrics that matter when monitoring the results of your employee referral program. https://lnkd.in/g9M_rcRP Which metric do you find most helpful in measuring the success of your ERP? #TeamGrowth #PracticeGrowth #EmployeeEngagement #SpearDigest

Congrats to this dedicated group of dentists for completing Spear's core curriculum! 🦷🎉🎓 Their curriculum journey began with Dr. Gregg Kinzer and Dr. Jeff Rouse in 'Treatment Planning with Confidence' and came full circle during 'Advanced Treatment Planning'. In this capstone course, they took all of their previous hands-on learning and applied critical thinking to cases, working collaboratively alongside like-minded peers with similar shared experiences. Dr. Doug Klein, who just completed 'Advanced Treatment Planning', shared his experience through Spear's core curriculum: “The layered learning is effective, because you always return to principles learned in the first workshop. For me, the biggest return on investment is how I feel about what I do. I’m making a living, but also doing what I love. I feel fulfilled and it’s changed and shaped my practice. There’s financial return too, but I feel really good about what I do for patients.” Show some love for our recent curriculum "graduates" in the comments below and learn more about our on-campus experiences: https://lnkd.in/gAg4Aew2
