CBP 219: Hourly vs. base salary for your clinicians—What to know

In today's competitive job market, it's crucial for practices to create employment packages that not only attract talented candidates but also keep them motivated during uncertain times. For a private practice, that often means you’ll be forced to decide if you can afford to offer a base salary when it becomes clear there are highly desirable candidates who simply aren’t interested in hourly compensation. 

In this podcast, I explore some strategies for finding a good balance between minimizing the risks associated with sky-high overhead costs and being able to entice clinicians who prefer stability in their compensation packages. We will explore ideas for creating a compensation structure that will allow you to hire the right people, make sure they’ll be willing to contribute fully as a part of your team and manage the financial risks so you can ensure long-term success for your organization.

This “highlight” is from a Q&A call with my Mastermind Gold group—a highly interactive, supportive group where people who have tons of questions and concerns about how to start, grow, or transition to a cash-based private practice get the answers, resources, and confidence they need to build the practice of their dreams. We have a group coaching call every week, and we occasionally use excerpts of those calls for this podcast.
