In this episode of The Savvy Dentist Podcast, we’re talking about a topic that every single practice owner needs to know, understand, and appreciate.
That topic is HR compliance.
We know that when HR goes well, our team is fantastic, everyone feels supported, and things run smoothly. But when things don’t go well, you can find yourself in the midst of time consuming, emotionally draining, and costly issues.
Sally Murphy from Purple Playground joins Dr. Jesse Green to help us understand what practice owners need to know about HR compliance to avoid issues before they arise.
Sally Murphy is an expert in all things HR. She’s worked her whole professional life in this sphere for both large companies, and now with small to medium enterprises including many dental practices.
Sally is here to let us know what we need to have in terms of policies and procedures, and how to stay on the right side of the compliance line.
