Ep 138 What Every Dental Practice Needs to Know About Labor Laws and Employee Relations

In this episode of Nobody Told Me That!, I sit down with HR expert Alan Twigg from Bent Erickson and Associates to discuss HR policies and how they can make or break a dental practice. From avoiding legal pitfalls with proper documentation to navigating the National Labor Relations Act, we cover items you need to know to safeguard your practice. It's not easy to create and maintain a productive, compliant workplace but it's part of our job as practice leaders. We talk about these key HR issues: Managing sensitive conversations versus toxicity in the workplace. Building legally sound 'no gossip' policies (this is where many managers are surprised by the law!) The importance of annual reviews and continuing education investments. Plus, we'll explore the real cost of mishandling harassment claims and tips for keeping wages and benefits competitive. It's a must-listen for anyone leading a dental practice!  Connect with Alan  Website: https://bentericksen.com/  The Dental HR Podcast The People Power In-Person Events: https://bentericksen.com/people-power/  ------------- https://www.odysseymgmt.com/synergy NTMT listeners receive a 2 Month Free Trial + a 3rd Month if you buy anything from any vendor during the trial period.
