Is your DSO, independent practice, or company suffering from an inordinately high turnover rate? 

If so, you are not alone. Many businesses struggle to keep skilled and talented team members, and the dental care industry is more so than most. A Gallup study revealed that employee turnover costs businesses in the US $1 trillion annually.

Gallup further reports that “The cost of replacing an individual employee can range from one-half to two times the employee’s annual salary – and that’s a conservative estimate.”

But now, consider the cost of replacing that team member. Using information from Zip Recruiter, the average dental office receptionist earns $35,319 annually. So, accounting for the subsequent loss in productivity and other costs, replacing this front desk team member can cost you an additional $17k to $70k.

In addition to the financial costs, a high turnover rate is disheartening to your team and can cause a decrease in performance and plunging morale. 

Clearly, it is a better strategy all around to do what is necessary to keep your best employees. 

Simply treating your team like human beings, with respect and integrity, goes a long way toward employee retention. Cultivate a sense of family by looking out for one another, meeting needs, and going the extra mile for each other. People do not stay long-term because of a company – they stick it out for the long haul because of the people around them.

Marni has been an outstanding resource for our organization. From marketing advice to operational rigor, she has made a huge difference as we build out our platform. Thank you, Marni and Full Pocket Coaching!

Doug BrownChairman of the Board Local Start Dental

We've been working with Marni Blythe of Full Pocket Coaching now for two years, and things have been going really well. She's helped us keep our eye on the ball and not get too worked up about the external things that are making a lot of noise in the world today and just focus on our business and keep delivering great patient care and, and doing all the great things behind the scenes, which make the business go and grow properly and the right way. We've also introduced the Full Pocket Method/ System over the last year. Her system has really helped us as an organization from the top down. My wife, the other owner, and I have really been able to, look at things in a new way with the system and it's really simplified the process and allowed us to really focus on growing the business in the right way. It's allowed us to communicate better with each department in our office and to give each employee their own say, and really so we can move the office forward in the right direction and create an environment where everybody feels a part of the team and really enjoys doing the work and getting the results that they want for our patients. And I would certainly recommend working with her to anybody who you know, wants to grow and have a great business.

Dr. Adam Bryan

Marni Blythe, principal of Full Pocket Coaching, is so amazing that I hired her three times! As a decided DIY business person, I have owned a private prosthodontic practice in Durham North Carolina, Triangle Restoration Dentistry, that has taken great care of our patients for twenty-plus years. After our busiest year ever and having heard Marni speak one time, I knew I needed to engage her. Quite simply, we needed to take as good of care of our staff as we have of our patients by creating a team environment that is sustainable in terms of staff retention and recruitment for the next twenty years. Marni's deft touch, organizational rigor, and sensible ideas have proven a great match for my team and we are already a more functional and joyful workplace, with new heights to attain and a team aligned to those aspirations. I referred Marni to a new non-profit dental clinic in Durham North Carolina with which I am affiliated, Local Start Dental, which is focused on tooth replacement services for neighbors in need. Again, Marni's wealth of experience has proven invaluable to the creation of the myriad new systems to be built out in a start-up and directing a marketing approach to our referral partner agencies and practices. Finally, having seen Marni in action in my current practice and the non-profit, it was an easy decision for my co-founder and me at our Raleigh North Carolina denture focused start-up practice, NewStart Denture + Implant Partners, to engage Marni and Full Pocket to develop our B2B and B2C marketing campaigns. Again, her deep relationships in the industry and understanding of efficient marketing approaches, have been an ideal match for our budget and goals. Three hires, one person! Marni Blythe and Full Pocket Coaching have been our perfect fractional Operations and Marketing experts at every step.

Retention is Key to Growing Your DSO, Independent Practice or Company

The new generations of employers understand that the dash between work and life in the term “work-life balance” is critical to the success of the company beyond a surface level. These employers realize how an employee’s personal life directly impacts their professional life through morale, environment, and productivity. Promoting positive employee morale and getting to know more about your employees on a personal level directly benefits your business.

In fact, employees who think they have a positive work-life balance are more productive and dedicated by 21 percent than those who don’t think so, according to a survey of 50,000 employees worldwide.

Employees simply having the knowledge of support systems is enough to boost morale, but employers can go the extra mile by being willing to provide realistic and flexible work plans and actively promoting a positive, healthy work environment. – Forbes Magazine
