Building your financial plan may seem like a taxing to-do, but the benefits it provides for each of your team members make it a must-have for your practice. With a plan in place, you’ll create a strong foundation by establishing a sure-fire structure from the top down. We invite practice owners and managers to join us as we chat through the different strategies you can incorporate into your plan to recruit, reward, and retain strong staff, while encouraging pet owners to take charge of their pets’ health

The 3 Rs: Recruiting, Rewarding, and Retaining

Recruit, reward, and retain a strong staff and clients by implementing the 3 Rs in your financial plan. Below, these tips will help build a strong financial foundation for you and your team. 

Recruit

  • People come to work at your practice based on two reasons: Culture and Competitiveness. Build a brand that will attract and stand out to new hires.
  • Common perks used to recruit a strong staff are retirement accounts and medical insurance.

Reward

  • Reward your staff with items that are tied together. The worst reward programs are ones that are not tied to anything.
  • Offer reward programs that will be long-lasting. Random cash bonuses become expected and lose their appeal quickly.
  • Your focus should be to get your team members to focus on something specific to help improve profits. These rewards should be specific and tied to personal growth. 

Retain

  • Retain valuable employees by understanding their partnership with you and your practice. Ownership is the most difficult to get back.
  • Build a retention program with these three attributes: Deferred, Substantial, and Cost Recovery to Practice.
  • Make sure your program is long-lasting. The shortest time period would be 7 years, but 10 is ideal.
