Retention-First HR: Why Automated Benefits are the New Standard
The dental staffing crisis has evolved. Today, the challenge isn't just finding staff—it's keeping them.
The Rise of "Portable" Benefits
Modern dental professionals, particularly Millennials and Gen Z hygienists, are looking for benefits that follow them regardless of where they work.
Platforms like Gusto and OnPay have pioneered the ability for small practices to offer "big company" benefits—like health insurance, 401(k) matching, and even college savings plans—with minimal administrative overhead.
Key Retention Statistic:
Practices that offer automated retirement contributions see a 40% higher retention rate among clinical staff over a 24-month period.
Automating the "Human" in HR
Retention isn't just about money; it's about feeling valued. Automated HR systems now include "Work Anniversary" and "Birthday" triggers that prompt managers to recognize staff milestones.
