It's a hot topic episode: Raises! Kiera shares her beliefs around raises, and why implementing a tiered raise system (or hiring the Dental A-Team to establish one) is so beneficial. Do team members in your practice know how to get a raise? Do you find yourself throwing money at problems instead of figuring it out? Do your employees feel stuck?
The perks of a tiered raise system include:
Confidence in knowing how much you're paying and why
Control of each employee to attain a raise
Inspire self-sufficiency among team members
Take the scariness out of reviews and check-ins
