SUMMARY:Peer-to-Peer Dinner: Seattle\, WA
DESCRIPTION:Vital Signs: Key Metrics for Managing the Health & Growth of Your Practice\nDiscussion Outline:\nOur “gut perceptions” of how our practices are performing are sometimes on the mark\, yet often certain salient aspects capture our attention more than others.  It may seem – anecdotally – that contact lens fittings are on the uptick\, or that a certain demographic of customer is dropping a bit\, etc. when in fact other unseen trends are impacting our businesses more. \nThe answer lies in tracking our practices’ Key Metrics. Using consistent benchmarks facilitates reasoned decision making that responds to our true strengths and weaknesses in the marketplace. Together\, we’ll be discussing: \n\nTypes of metrics: revenue\, optical\, staffing\, clinical\, etc. How do we best understand and group them?\nTools to record key metrics in real time\, including those int he PECAA portfolio (e.g. SuccessTRACK) that support more accurate and meaningful tracking.\nThe bottom line: using your metrics to improve the future performance of your practice.\n\nThis dinner is open to both doctors and staff members. \nWe hope to see you there! \nRSVP NOW

SUMMARY:Webinar: Ditching the Traditional Performance Review
DESCRIPTION:Ditching the Traditional Performance Review\nDate & Time: Tuesday\, May 8\, 2018  |  11:00am – 12:00pm Pacific\nPresented by: Sharon Jutila\, AmeriBen \nCourse Description:\nAn ongoing trend among progressive businesses is to do away with annual performance reviews. The reasons for doing this are many but the most prevalent is that performance reviews aren’t motivating to employees or beneficial for employers. But what should replace the traditional performance review as you still need to motivate and monitor employee performance? \nThis live webinar first helps practitioners understand why traditional performance reviews fail to provide employee or employers with helpful information and feedback on performance. Second\, and more importantly\, it provides you with a framework of tools and processes that you can use in place of the performance review in order to motivate employees and gain useful information about employees’ performance for managers and the company. \nREGISTER NOW
