On demand: How CSR can help you survive the recruitment and retention crisis
Speaker(s): Zoe Close, Mark Topley
How CSR can help you survive the recruitment and retention crisis
With the recruitment and retention crisis ongoing in dentistry, dental practices throughout the UK are having to pull out all the stops to survive.
Employees want and demand more than just good pay. And that’s where corporate sustainability and responsibility (CSR) comes in. Research shows 76% of millennials consider a company’s CSR commitments when deciding where to work and 64% percent won’t take a job if a potential employer doesn’t have strong CSR practices. In this live webinar, Practice Plan’s Zoe Close will be joined by CSR expert and coach, Mark Topley, to discuss why dental practices with a strong commitment to their CSR strategy are likely to have a significant advantage over those that don’t. Mark will cover the ‘people’ pillar of CSR, focusing on the power of culture, strong leadership, and people development. He will also cover how, by embedding a CSR strategy and demonstrating a clear commitment to these areas, you can attract the best people and, most importantly, retain them in your practice. And the advantage doesn’t end with employees. More so than ever, consumers are looking closely at the businesses they engage and spend their money with, and dentistry is no exception to that. A sustainable and responsible practice can help win patients, set your practice out as a positive force in society and help to build a good reputation and enhance patient loyalty.Learning outcomes
