How to use it

Your first 15 minutes

Step 1 is the Practice HR Self Audit, file 6. Work down from there, and by step 7 you put the calendar to work.

  1. Run the self-audit first. Open the Practice HR Self Audit and score where the practice stands across six groups. It tells you which toolkit to open first and gives you the baseline you will measure against.

  2. Set the foundation. Folder 1 gives you the handbook and the core policies, with the few that carry real weight called out.

  3. Hire the right way. Folder 2 attracts the right candidate, structures the working interview, and runs the pre-hire credential check.

  4. Handle the hard conversations. Folder 3 puts the word-for-word scripts in the manager hands for the conversations a small office cannot avoid.

  5. Onboard every hire the same way. Folder 4 runs the first ninety days, with the credential gate before the first patient day and the two tracks for clinical and front office roles. Use this folder as your standing home for credential verification and renewals.

  6. Run coverage and attendance. Folder 5 answers who covers the chair today, keeps time off from colliding, and turns a short-notice call-out into a routine.

  7. Put the calendar to work. Load the Annual HR Calendar for Practices and let it pace the reviews and checkpoints for the year, with the one-pager pinned by the schedule.

Can I use the files in my business?

What if I need help applying it?
