"Quickly Create a Beautiful

Employee Manual

that sets HIGH EXPECTATIONS in your thriving dental practice. . . "

( Without Having To Pay an Expensive Consultant! )

The First Step in Starting your Dental Practice . . . 

A GREAT employee manual clearly communicates workplace policies . . .


It sets expectations & defines rules that need to be in place in order to have a thriving dental practice.


​More importantly, it protects you from liability by clearly stating important policies and procedures of your office. 


Without a manual, hiring new employees can be incredibly frustrating & stressful. The confusion amongst your team will lead to bad patient experiences & ultimately affect the bottom line.


So I decided to write some policies that would help organize my office. . . 

3 CRITICAL EMPLOYEE MANUAL POLICIES

OFFICE POLICIES

These policies save time, energy & frustration in the office. . . It includes details regarding hours of operations, rest areas & office closure! 

EMPLOYEE POLICIES

These policies help standardize protocols that keep your employees productive. . . This includes internet use, attendance & dress code. 

PATIENT POLICIES

These policies detail how to handle treatment of patients. It includes sections on geriatric, emergency, pediatric & special needs patients.

. . . I've been working as an associate dentist with my mother for years. She is an incredible practitioner who taught me a great deal about proper patient care, quality - oriented dentistry & leadership. . . 


However, I couldn't help but notice how overworked she was with things outside of clinical dentistry. A lack of proper protocols & systems meant that she was doing much of the heavy lifting to keep the office afloat. 

​

I knew that we needed an office manual & set out to create the best version possible for our dental practice . . . 

... AND THIS IS WHAT I BUILT  

- 80+ Page Digital Template 

- 50+ Office Policies

- Editable Colors/ Fonts

- Canva Video Tutorial

- Email Support 


When building the manual, I knew I wanted to focus on two primary components: ​CONTENT & DESIGN

​

It's incredible how much content is required to build out a comprehensive employee manual.


We included 50+ policies which review items including harassment, probationary periods, proper workplace appearance, electronic devices . . . this list goes on & on. 

80+ Page Template w/ Custom Policies 

I also wanted something that would be easily consumed by my employees.


Most manuals are so dry & provide your staff with an experience that can only be equated to a trip to the DMV.


I focused on creating clarity through my design using contrasting colors that POP & clearly delineating sections that differed from one another.  


When I gave the staff the manual, something amazing happened. Rather then baulk at the idea of the manual, they were receptive at the idea of being more organized.


They were grateful to see policies that highlighted things they work hard for like vacation time, sick days & bonuses. 

​

Ultimately, it brought my team together & hopefully it will have the the same impact in your office!

Endodontist

In my specialty, it’s important to have employees that understand aseptic protocols for root canal therapy. I included these protocols in my manual to help train new dental assistants. The template made it really easy to do just that!

I’m looking to build an orthodontic practice in the future. I see a lot of inefficiencies in the offices that I have worked at & I wanted to make sure my future practice is a well - oiled machine. I’ve built out the first 30 pages of my manual & I can’t wait till its complete!
