STAFFING FOR EXCELLENCE -

KGA’s PERSONNEL DIVISION

Dentistry is a profession known for a high percentage of staff turnover and an increasing shortage of qualified DENTAL personnel.  This time-consuming an expensive problem costs the dentist close to $ 20,000 for each staff replacement.  

Unfortunately, some dentists passively accept this problem as a “given for the field”.  Eager to fill a position, they resort to a take-what-you-can get method of hiring.  Ironically, this “quick fix” approach actually creates MORE turnover.

True, the turnover problem exists.  It is also true that dentists CAN do something about it.

• Karen Greenhouse Associates believes that the key to eliminating turnover lies in finding out the answers to two deceptively simple questions about your particular practice: Why people leave, and why people stay.

• Our expertise in answering these two questions, coupled with our ability to create compatible, long-term matches, led us to create our Personnel Division.  We are one of the few management consulting firms in California with the experience and track record to offer our clients a comprehensive personnel service.

• We do a lot more than fill staff positions.  We help you ensure longevity by selecting only those applicants who will integrate successfully with you and your staff, and who have the ability to take the practice one step further.
