Are you rewarding employees in your practice?
What does reward look like?
🌟 Acknowledgement and encouragement
🌟 Growth opportunities
🌟 Communication and Feedback
🌟 Benefits and compensation
🌟 Autonomy and empowerment.
The ripple effect?
A chain reaction where the initial cause creates a series of subsequent effects, with each effect becoming the cause for the next.
Example⬇️
Initial Action: Doctor takes the time to give a specific, heartfelt compliment to the team members for their hard work.
First Ripple: The team members feel valued and motivated. They're more engaged and put extra effort into their next task.
Second Ripple: The team members' renewed energy and positive attitude are contagious, improving the morale of their immediate colleagues.
Third Ripple: The improved team morale leads to better collaboration and a more positive work environment.
Fourth Ripple: The team's increased productivity and positive attitude lead to better a patient experience, which in turn benefits the reputation of the practice and the bottom line.
When you intentionally reward your team using these five pillars, you're not just being a nice boss, you're implementing a strategic approach that will improve employee engagement, increase retention, and strengthen patient interactions.
