Topic: How to Find & Hire New Staff in Today’s Challenging Dental Labour Market

Speaker: Michael Lemmer, Founder, ML6 Search + Talent Advisory

Since the onset of the pandemic, it has become increasingly difficult within Dentistry to find and hire qualified new employees. As scarcity increases, employment costs increase but continuously paying new employees more and more isn’t sustainable. Also, many practices simply are not able to keep up with skyrocketing wage rates. Learn what your practice can do to attract and hire the amazing new staff your practice needs to succeed and grow.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

Attendees will learn:

  • What is happening in the employment landscape and how this has impacted talent acquisition efforts, in general.
  • How this has impacted the healthcare space and some interesting trends that recruiters are seeing.
  • How, in a candidate-driven market, the candidate is now in the drivers seat and what this means for you as an employer.
  • Recruitment Best Practices, both in general and specific to the healthcare space including tips you can implement immediately to get an edge on the clinic down the street.
  • What you can do to differentiate your clinic as an employer of choice.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER:

Michael Lemmer founded ML6 Search + Talent Advisory in 2017 after a successful corporate career which saw him building and leading high-performance teams across a multitude of functions and industries. Throughout his experiences, one constant is his ability to identify and nurture key talent, taking teams and businesses to the next level.

In his most recent role, he led the Human Resources function for a private equity-backed healthcare services provider, and helped grow them from 30 to over 200 locations across Canada. Michael has a B. Comm from the University of South Africa specialising in Management, and spent the early part of his career in sales and business development. 

While you may often hear him reminiscing about the weekends spent climbing, braaiing, and eating biltong in the mountains of South Africa, he has called Canada home since March 2008, and takes full advantage of all this beautiful country has to offer. His down time is spent running the local trails, camping with his family and caring for his chickens, bees and vegetable garden. Michael lives in rural Burlington with his wife, four active children, and two pups, Kensi and Khali.

Topic: Strategic Scheduling: The Key to Being Productive, Not Just Busy

Productivity is a measure of how effective a person or process is at achieving the required outcome. Just because staff are busy doesn’t mean they are also productive. In this online seminar, attendees will learn how to take a strategic approach to appointment scheduling so that productivity is maximized and each provider is contributing to the overall goals of the practice.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

Attendees will:

  • Use the knowledge and skills required to properly engineer the appointment schedule (i.e., Doctor’s ideal day etc.)
  • Schedule patients (new, hygiene and emergency) efficiently to create profitable, stress-controlled days
  • Establish production goals for all providers and use these goals to properly engineer the appointment schedule
  • Consult with each provider to establish his/her “ideal day” and strive to schedule accordingly

  • Schedule longer appointments for patients which results in less anesthesia, less time away from work and less stress for the clinical team
  • Implement scheduling for financial goals and productivity
