1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EST
Michael Clark and Maria Raya
In today’s competitive healthcare landscape, dental laboratories face unique challenges when it comes to recruiting and retaining skilled employees. A well-designed employee benefits program can make all the difference, not only in attracting top talent but also in boosting morale, loyalty, and long-term retention. Health Insurance is still the number one requested benefit by employees and comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage remain foundational. Mental health services and virtual care/telehealth are now must-haves. While all these benefits are expensive, there are alternatives to help meet your financial goals.
Join us for an insightful webinar tailored specifically for dental lab owners, managers, and HR professionals. We’ll explore strategies for creating benefits packages that meet the real needs of your employees while supporting your business goals. Whether you're starting from scratch or enhancing your current offering, this session will provide actionable guidance to help your lab stand out as an employer of choice.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- Why employee benefits are a critical tool for recruitment and retention in dental labs
- How to design benefits that matter to your current team and prospective hire
- Cost-effective options for small to mid-sized lab
- Tips for communicating and promoting your benefits package effectively
