We have chosen and published our Practice Manager of the Month: MELISSA EDWARDS!

Melissa manages 3 offices; Heresco Chiropractic, in Corvallis, Oregon,  Advanced Chiropractic in Albany, Oregon, and Westlake Chiropractic in Lake Oswego, Oregon.

Melissa was nominated by Heresco’s billing Specialist, Kimberly Palmer.  Here is her submission:

A happy staff makes for happy patients, and happy patients means more business. You will also find that employees are more productive, and you will be more likely to retain them, which will save you the time and cost of training new workers. Putting a little more time and effort into keeping everyone happy is a win-win!

You would be naive to think that all everyone is honest when they fill out a job application, especially when it asks if the applicant has been convicted of a felony.  They may think that they will not be hired if they answer truthfully.  Employers should perform a criminal background check on applicants to be sure they don’t have a criminal background.  If not, they could be subject to legal ramifications for negligent hiring practices.

You might think wearing uniforms at work will solve all your dress code problems. Wearing uniforms can help with employees not having to try to figure out what is appropriate attire for work and it will be cost effective for the employees who don’t have a lot of extra money to buy nice clothes for every day of the week.

What is your dress code policy?  Do you have one?  Having a dress code policy is important but for some employees, it becomes a constant problem and this can affect the overall image of your practice.
