We recently talked about how to deal with high staff turnover in your optical practice. Employee engagement and recognition play a big role in helping combat turnover. Instituting an employee reward and recognition program is one easy way you can build a positive atmosphere in your office and increase your employee engagement.
Staff members who receive regular recognition and praise are more likely to:
- Increase their own personal productivity
- Increase engagement among their coworkers
- Stay with the practice longer
- And receive higher loyalty and satisfaction scores from patients
You may think that annual bonuses and/or raises are the only way to provide this recognition, but that isn't the case. We found a great infographic from Officevibe that lists out 20 compelling ways to reward employees without spending any additional cash.
