6 Key Things for Onboarding a New Employee

Owning a business is about profit maximisation, and a huge part of that is procedure development. I think most healthcare practices have a contract that they get new employees to sign, together with a Job Description Document.

6 Key Things for Onboarding a New Employee

Onboarding a New employee

Onboarding of staff is critical for the culture and happiness of the entire office. It is also an imperative part of reducing business expenses. The cost of onboarding a new employee and having them leave can be a tremendous cost to a practice.

You will need:

1. A contract - so the employee knows their terms of employment.

2. A Job Description Document - so the employee knows what their role within the practice is.

3. An Employee Handbook or Staff Code of Conduct - these are key policies and procedures that are set within the practice and signed by the employee.

4. A health declaration, which details emergency contacts and such with immunisations required for your industry. (Some software programs have this as part of the onboarding process.)

5. An Induction Document - this assists to introduce the new employee to the practice, where things are, who everyone is and identify training needs.

6. A diarised system for follow-up from the induction with a checklist.

If you need assistance with any of this documentation, I can coach and mentor your Practice Manager, or Principal Owner as well as refer you to my network if required. I have done this countless times and can adapt these systems to the needs of your practice.
