At a dental practice, staff meetings are important for setting the tone and direction of your business. Since it’s a new year, it can be beneficial to have a staff meeting that focuses on goals and strategies to ensure success for the year 2023.

One way to start off your meeting is by revisiting last year’s accomplishments. Be sure to recognize individual team members as well as collective efforts of the dental practice as a whole. This will provide motivation and enthusiasm for what the dental practice can achieve in 2023.

Once you have reviewed last year’s successes, you can begin to plan for the year. Clarify expectations for each dental staff member; this includes setting targets for new patient acquisition and exploring ways of increasing patient loyalty. Discuss the dental practice’s marketing strategy and how you will keep current patients engaged.

It is also important to ensure that your dental staff have the necessary resources and tools needed for success. Look into dental industry trends, discuss any new technology that may be beneficial for the dental practice, and review continuing education opportunities available for team members.

Finally, a successful staff meeting should end with a clear action plan. Outline specific goals as well as individual tasks required to reach those goals. This will help provide focus and direction to both the dental staff and the dental practice in 2023!

By having a staff meeting that is empowering and results-driven, dental practices can motivate their team members to achieve success in the new year. With clear goals, strategies and action plans in place, dental teams will be better equipped for success!
