Ep. 28: No Budget? No Excuse. How to Thank Your Team This Holiday Season. (Part 1)

SHOW NOTES:

This week on ‘Million Dollar Chiro: The Podcast for Chiropractic Practice Owners,’ Dr. Duncan and Kelsey discuss a topic that comes up every holiday season: staff appreciation. Staff appreciation is crucial because without your staff helping you run your practice, then there is no practice to run. In part one of a two-part episode, Dr. Duncan shares ways that she shows appreciation to her staff ranging from an annual office Christmas party and the importance of celebrating work anniversaries. She also brings up that as a practice owner, it’s common to feel unappreciated by your staff, and that this is just an unfortunate reality of being a business owner.

TAKEAWAYS:

• It’s important to make staff feel appreciated because they are a crucial part of your office’s ability to function.
• If you are going to spend money on staff appreciation, it’s important to keep your staff members’ preferences in mind to make your purchase worthwhile.
• In addition to monetary gifts, you can also show your staff appreciation in other ways such as office parties, celebrating work anniversaries, and giving out staff superlatives at the end of the year.
• Keep in mind that many of your staff members will likely be younger than you, and may not reciprocate your appreciation of them in ways that you might normally expect.
