S1 E6: Paycheck to Partnership: Evolving the Hygiene Compensation Model

🎙️ Inspired Hygiene Podcast | From Paycheck to Partnership: Evolving the Hygiene Compensation Model Welcome back to the Inspired Hygiene Podcast! I'm your host, Rachel Wall—RDH and founder of Inspired Hygiene. In this powerful episode, I'm joined by long-time friend and lead coach Emme Sanders to dive deep into one of the hottest and most impactful topics in dentistry today: the shift from hourly paycheck to performance-based partnership in dental hygiene. 💡 We explore: Why traditional hygiene pay models are no longer sustainable What a performance-based model really looks like How to create a triple win for the patient, provider, and practice Real-world success from a legacy practice that made the transition Common pitfalls—and how to avoid them The critical role of clear communication in successful change Why this model enhances value, patient care, and professional longevity PLUS: Emme shares behind-the-scenes insights from one of her most challenging (and rewarding) consulting projects yet—and how they helped hygienists make more while serving patients better.   ✨ Ready to transform your hygiene department?
