Better HR. Stronger Teams. Smarter Practices.

The people side of your practice is too important to figure out as you go.

The labor market is incredibly tight, with no end in sight. And yet practices need to grow, achieve their goals, and enjoy the workday.

This means building and keeping an amazing team has never been more important.

At the same time, HR compliance has exploded in the past 5 years. State and federal labor changes have increased 3-fold. Mental health, paid sick leave, paid family leave, pregnancy disability accommodations, and many other complicated areas continue to confound leaders.

As one of the leading HR companies serving healthcare across the United States, Bent Ericksen & Associates brings over 45 years of healthcare HR and employment compliance expertise to live events, webinars, study clubs, and keynote presentations designed specifically for practice leaders.

I feel like our jobs as office managers place us on an island, forcing us to figure out systems to protect the office. Bent Ericksen has been a great resource in helping at least me not feel like I’m on my own. I can contact you guys about an employee and get guidance I can then share with my doctor. We can then approach the employee with the gained knowledge.

Today’s HR: Achieving Success While Avoiding Liability

The employment landscape continues to change, and what practice owners don’t know can create very real risk.

This session explores today’s biggest HR challenges, emerging compliance issues, employee expectations, and the mistakes healthcare employers make most often.

Attendees leave with a clearer understanding of how to strengthen their workplace while reducing unnecessary employment liability.

Building and Maintaining Your Best Team

There are plenty of amazing people out there, they’re just not working in your practice yet.

Attendees leave with a clearer understanding of how to strengthen their workplace while reducing unnecessary employment liability.

Performance Management & Taking Corrective Action

Many leader fall into the same trap: ignore problems and risk losing good team members, or confront a bad employee and risk losing them.

Fear of conflict is real. By addressing performance problems earlier, communicating expectations more clearly, and taking corrective action with greater confidence, you build your dream team.

This program gives practice leaders a practical framework for feedback, documentation, goal setting, and employee performance conversations, including the mistakes employers should avoid.
