These 10 Tips appeared in the August 2006 issue of the Journal of Accountancy; They apply to physician practices today just as well as to accounting firms:
- Hire carefully
- Establish workplace standards
- Provide training
- Recognize and reward high performers
- Weed out weak performers
- Invite employees’ input
- Communicate
- Deal with problems sooner rather than later
- Develop strong processes
- Treat employees consistently
Did any of these strike a cord with you? Think about how you would rank them – which is #1 and which is #10 in your medical practice or healthcare entity?
