SUMMARY:Webinar: Employment Law Every Manager Should Know
DESCRIPTION:Employment Law That Every Manager Should Know\nDate & Time: Tuesday\, November 6\, 2018  |  11:00am – 12:00pm Pacific\nPresented by: Sharon Jutila\, Human Resource Consultant\, AmeriBen \nCourse Description:\nThere are many different laws that impact a workplace from both a federal and state perspective. Each year\, federal and state governments add additional legislation that affects our workplaces. The risk of your managers not knowing what laws they are responsible for enforcing in the workplace can cause the company liability. When your managers are aware of what laws impact the employees\, they are more likely to see and report issues before they become legal concerns. \nManagers are the front line for company compliance laws discussed during this live webinar. Informed managers ensure your company is aware of and compliant with the key employment laws that impact employees and the workplace. \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Peer-to-Peer Dinner: Dallas\, TX
DESCRIPTION:Employee Strategies: Retention\, Motivation & More\nDiscussion Outline:\nQuite an industry abounds in dispensing pearls of wisdom along the lines of employee management.  Keywords like “engagement” or “leadership” or “accountability” are bantered around by sages on the subject. In the end\, we all want an office that works better. \nDuring our last Peer-to-Peer dinner of the year together\, we will discuss our own real life experiences in regards to staff management. Possible discussion points include: \n\nWhat really motivates our employees? Cold hard cash? Accolades? Mission?\nRetention and employee turnover: When is turnover better than retention? When is a practice structured to promote long term employees?\nDo you know what your employees are really thinking about your practice? Does that matter?\nWhat is achievable in staff management and what recurring challenges are simply part and parcel of owning or managing a practice?\n\nThis dinner is open to doctors and office managers who handle HR.  \nWe hope to see you there! \nRSVP NOW

This event is designed to give attendees a better understanding of how to manage their optical\, grow their practice and increase profitability. \nThe workshop includes a complete day of learning and hands-on courses that are beneficial for doctors\, optical buyers and practice administrators. \nThe Following Courses Will be Presented:\nOptical Merchandising 101: The Seven Fundamentals of Great Merchandising (1 Hour ABO)\nDoug Martin\, Innereactive Media\n\n\nCourse Description: Learn the seven techniques used to create effective retail merchandise displays and strong merchandising statements – because you only get one chance to make a great first impression.

Let’s work smarter\, not harder!\n\n\nBe a Revenue Cycle Mastermind (2 Hours)\nTeri Thurston\, Billing & Coding Manager\, PECAA\n\nCourse Description:Embrace strategies to proactively manage the revenue cycle\, reduce denials\, identify revenue leaks and stop the chaos of reworking claims.

SUMMARY:Peer-to-Peer Dinner: Salt Lake City\, UT
DESCRIPTION:Social Media & Marketing\nDiscussion Outline:\nToday\, a patient’s visit often starts and ends in cyberspace. A prospective patient may cruise websites like Healthgrades or Yelp\, checking out ratings. The prospect then lands on a practice website which influences the first direct customer service impression. If a practice’s website performs poorly\, can the practice itself be much better? Finally\, what post-visit services can the client access online? And will the patient post a new review? \nTo explore these questions\, we are bringing in Josh Rich from Innexus.  Josh will illustrate the latest dynamics of social media and what strategies will put private optometric practices on the best possible footing. \nThis dinner is open to doctors and key staff members.  \nWe hope to see you there! \nRSVP NOW
