Can keeping an underperforming employee really harm your dental practice more than having an empty seat? Join me, Paul Etchison, as we confront this critical question in today's episode.  We’ll draw parallels to a rowing team to discuss the tough decisions you face when dealing with underperforming staff. Explore the immediate and long-term impacts on team morale and performance, the importance of understanding the risks involved, and the significance of transparent communication. Learn how to give employees a fair chance to improve by addressing the root causes of their underperformance, whether it’s timeliness, training, or personality issues. Arm yourself with the knowledge to make well-informed decisions that balance short-term staffing needs with maintaining high standards and fostering a positive team culture..
