Why dental offices struggle with high staff turnover

Your dental offices might face significant issues of high staff turnover. This challenge disrupts the continuity of your patient care. Not only that. It creates financial strain for practices due to the costs associated with hiring and training new employees. 

Most of our customers suffer from this reality. That is why we want to raise awareness of this problem and introduce you to Reach's solutions.

Dental offices struggle with turnover

This high turnover is part of the business; you may have suffered it. Dental professionals juggle multiple tasks. You name it: caring for patients, managing administrative duties, answering phone calls. This will lead you to:

• Burnout, especially in understaffed practices or inadequate support. Additionally, dealing with anxious patients can take an emotional toll on staff.
• Also, some in-house staff might not have any opportunities to further their careers, making it hard for dental staff to justify staying in their current positions. 
• Problems with hiring also lead to turnover. Oftentimes, they lack sufficient qualified candidates for open positions.

To sum up, dealing with high staff turnover in dental offices takes more than one strategy. Working with dental office staff to improve the conditions in which they work, offering pay that is comparable to what similar jobs in other fields pay (and which is competitive within the dental field), and creating paths for those dental staff who want to grow in a professional capacity (to the extent that doing so is possible within the confines of the dental office) can lengthen the tenure of dental staff members in the dental office.
