The Benefits of Employing a Mentor to Mentor your staff...
Today I want to talk to the business owners out there and let you in on a secret...hiring a mentor for your staff in areas that you are not experienced in (like pelvic health physio) has huge benefits for your business!
First let me paint a picture of a scenario I have seen time and time again:
- Business owner has a staff member keen to transition to Pregnancy and Pelvic Floor Physio. They are an excellent staff member and the business owner is very keen to retain them
-Business owner also sees great revenue potential in having a Pregnancy and Pelvic Health service in their clinic
Now let's compare the pair...
Clinic 1:
-Business owner pays for clinician to completes a relevant course -Cost to the clinic: $5000
-Clinician completes the course but realises they have no support at the clinic and no way to implement skills. Clinician leaves the clinic.
Cost to the clinic $40,000 to find and train a new staff member and $60,000 in potential revenue from having a thriving pelvic health service
Total cost to the clinic: $105,000
Clinic 2:
- Business owner pays for clinician to completes the course and mentoring with PPPM after.
Cost to the clinic: $11,000
- Clinician is highly satisfied in her job and stays with the clinic.
Profit to the clinic: $40,000 due to no loss of staff and $60,0000 profit as the clinician builds a thriving service
Total profit to the clinic: + $89,000
So choose your own adventure....It's a no brainer really!
