October 10, 2022

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Amy Alvarez with IDOC. Amy joins me on the show today to discuss a topic that is certainly impacting practice owners in multiple different ways and at multiple different level: attracting and retaining staff in your practice. Amy shares a lot of great information and insights, including tips on how to how to best create a job ad to attract quality candidates, why yet again it “starts with why” in your practice, the mismatch in available candidates relative to open positions that she’s seeing in the marketplace, how bonus structures have changed in today’s marketplace, and different strategies to search for the ideal team member.
