The COVID-19 pandemic changed life as we knew it. It forced owners and managers to make difficult decisions day in and day out, many of which involved our employees…furloughs, pay cuts, hour reductions, and even layoffs. In 2021 many of us had to endure the “Great Resignation,” creating even more employee challenges. Yet this new way of functioning has brought with it some valuable lessons about how to boost employee engagement that should not be forgotten. The importance of employee engagement in a post-COVID-19 environment cannot be understated. Clinic owners and managers have an opportunity to create an environment in which employees feel connected, recognized, and supported by ensuring they understand why we do what we do. Now more than ever, your business needs to thrive, and having an energized and engaged team will help make this a reality!
