How the Hiring & Retention Program Works

Working with your specific practice, we help you establish the recruiting, selection, onboarding, training and retention systems needed to build a productive and stable team.

Prepare the HR Foundation

The program begins by reviewing existing hiring and personnel practices, establishing baseline statistics, organizing the required files and documents and preparing the owner and participating staff for successful training.

Train the Owner and HR Personnel

The owner and selected HR personnel learn the complete system for promotion, screening, interviewing, testing, selecting, onboarding, training, retaining and appropriately offboarding staff.

Put Active Recruiting and Hiring in Place

The practice begins promoting open positions, tracking candidates, creating complete prospect files, conducting structured interviews, making qualified offers and moving successful candidates through onboarding.

Complete Four Implementation Phases

Over four structured phases, the owner and HR manager work with their consultant to establish hiring priorities, train and onboard staff, strengthen retention and maintain a continuing recruiting pipeline.

Six Parts Build a Working HR System

Preparation, training and four implementation phases move the program into daily use. Throughout the program, recruiting activity, candidate progress, hiring results and staff-training actions are reviewed objectively with the consultant.

Preparation: Build the Foundation

Review current practices and legal requirements, organize personnel and prospect files, establish baseline measurements, select the people who will train and begin the recruiting actions needed before training starts.

Training: Learn the Complete System

Learn the systems for recruiting, screening, interviewing, testing, selecting, onboarding, training, retaining and handling personnel changes professionally and consistently.

Phase 1: Recruit, Evaluate and Hire

Put the recruiting and hiring tracking grid into use, create complete candidate files, conduct structured interviews, promote through productive channels, make offers and bring qualified people aboard.

Phase 2: Prioritize Hiring for Growth

Establish a hiring allocation board, prioritize open positions according to the clinic’s goals and budget and maintain an approved schedule for adding the staff the practice needs.

Phase 3: Train the HR Manager and Team

Train the HR manager on the full system, place staff onto organized job-training checklists, track their progress and help team members understand and succeed in their roles.

Phase 4: Stabilize and Maintain the Team

Complete the employee manual, organize continuing education, review key personnel objectively and establish maintenance recruiting so the clinic can continue hiring, retaining and replacing staff when needed.

Quotes Dark

Thanks to the Survival Strategies Hiring and Retention Program, we gained 8 therapists and 3 administrative staff in just 5 months.

Before starting, we were downsizing because of staff losses. Now we are expanding to a second location because of our rapid growth. The recruiting skills brought in the right people, and the retention tools have given our team a place to grow.

The Hiring and Retention Program has been invaluable in helping us bring in the right people who align with our mission. We improved our hiring, onboarding and training processes while gaining stronger communication skills.

Instead of losing therapists to burnout, we can now address difficulties confidently and help them thrive in their roles. I highly recommend this program to anyone struggling to hire and retain the right staff.
