This time of year can be incredibly hard for dentists and practice owners because there are so many decisions to make when it comes to showing appreciation for team members. Should I do cash, a gift card, or a bonus through payroll? How much should I pay my team members? Should I do an equal amount or vary the amounts based on longevity? If we do a Holiday party, should I pay the team for the hours? All of the questions and more are covered by Dr. Kuba and Bethany in this episode. The end of the year is an important time to show appreciation, but there is much to consider and weigh out. So, listen in!
