Unify Your Practice for the Future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is arguably the most valuable and important resource in any practice?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: the people<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the most important factor in making them and your practice successful?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: the culture they work in each day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The culture of your practice is on display the moment a patient interacts with your team. Good, bad or indifferent, it is an undeniable and very apparent reflection of who your organization is and what it stands for. If your culture has been nurtured, your patients will notice and be more likely to maintain their relationship with you. If it has been ignored, it will create reasons for them to go elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practice culture is made up of the values, interests, experiences, assumptions and beliefs shared by its employees. It influences how employees feel about work and how they perform. A culture exists whether you are intentional about it or not. Increasingly we are finding that ignoring culture is a surefire way to have a lower performing and less satisfied team.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research shows that organizations that can lean into culture during difficult times are outperforming their competition. In fact, a strong culture can enhance employee engagement by 30%, resulting in up to a 19% increase in operating income and a 28% increase in earnings growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Fuel, You Get the Tools of Change<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the best and worst aspects of culture is that it can change. On the positive side, if you realize your culture isn\u2019t quite what it should be to help your practice perform at its best, don\u2019t worry\u2014it still can be. At Fuel, we often find that practices already know why patients should visit them instead of the competition, they just have yet to put it into words. Defining your culture so that the team agrees to and understands it is often the first step on the pathway to improved performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next step is to address any performance gaps between where you are as a team and where you want that path to take you. Fuel members have access to our Professional Development team and its many resources to do just that\u2014help you identify where you are at, where you want to go and the challenges currently in your way. Our team will work collaboratively with you to develop a plan to fill the gaps and then correct and adapt as needed to get everyone on the same path, headed in the same direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
