Below is an article I just got from one of the attorneys I work with. He specializes in employment law. Silkin Management Group and Silkin Management Group clients have used his firm for help with employee situations. But, as any good lawyer will tell you, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. That, I find, is especially true when dealing with employment issues in today’s highly litigious environment. As pointed out in the article below, the first ounce of prevention comes in the form of office policies.
Silkin Management Group has a 400 page Office Policy and Job Description handbook that is easily adapted for any health care office. It comes with our management consulting and training program. If you are interested in finding out more about what Silkin Management Group can do to help you with employee management, including hiring the right people, training them, improving their skills and effectively monitoring their production, visit our website at www.silkinmanagementgroup.com or write us at info@silkinmanagementgroup.com.

Workplace Flap Control
Why are stop-lights red and go-lights green? How come you never get a second chance to make a first impression? Who decided days would be divided into 24 hours and not 48 hours half as long? Why do so many employers wind up entangled in gnarly, avoidable disputes over the handling of crummy, incompetent employees?
If you have arguably plausible answers to any of the first three questions, please let me know and I may pass them on.
Commonly, employers become enmeshed in stressed-out, messy, and distracting confrontations with failing workers for lack of clearly written, distributed and regularly utilized employee policy. Written guidelines, written rules, written procedures, written confirmations of problems encountered and addressed. Written, man.
Even just a written policy for “reporting of misconduct,” spelling out the employee’s duties, well-understood and followed by the workforce, can prevent small production and conduct problems from blowing sky high.
“Workplace flap prevention and handling” might be this firm’s (really long) middle name. We can help. Please also see our blog article: “Why Written Policy is Good Policy.”
