Team Building
Teamwork is essential for practice success, however, teamwork requires hard work, team building, and dedication to common goals in order for the team and the practice to thrive. Office staff is often a varied group with different personalities, backgrounds, levels of education, strengths, weaknesses, and problem solving skills. It can be difficult to get everyone to focus their energy in the same direction and work together rather than against each other. The effort you put in to team building now will pay dividends in the end.

In team building it is important to celebrate the differences of the group, and appreciate the value that each individual brings to the table. When you get all these people focused together, you will accomplish more in less time, while increasing the efficiency of the office.
