The Hybrid Staffing Model: Balancing Core Teams with Tech Solutions
By Dental Staffing Reviews Feb 28, 2025 8 min read
The goal of a 100% full-time staff is being replaced by a more agile "Hybrid Model."
The 70/30 Split Logic
Leading practice consultants are now recommending a "70/30" staffing split. This means maintaining a core team of 70% permanent employees for patient continuity and office culture, while utilizing on-demand platforms for the remaining 30% of clinical hours.
Cost Benefits of Agility
- Reduced Burnout: Your core team doesn't have to scramble when someone calls out sick.
- Lower Overhead: You aren't paying for full-time benefits for roles that only need 20 hours of coverage.
- Market Testing: Use temp shifts as "working interviews" to see how a clinician fits before offering a contract.
