Organizational Charts - a Key to Successful Growth
All Practices have an organizational structure in place, though most of them are informal and not documented. Having a written, formal organizational chart can play a major role in the development of your staff and the successful growth of your Practice. It can serve as a blueprint for the development of the management team, a roadmap for hiring/developing employees, a tool to improve the access/flow of information and a process framework to increase productivity /operational efficiency. The organizational chart provides a visual method for communicating valuable information to all employees.

Why do I need a company? You need a company for three reasons:

Human Resources Calendar of Events - 2011
 2011 is around the corner and in preparation for the upcoming year, we have put together a calendar of what Human Resources activities should be penciled in on your appointment book or marked on your outlook calendar, so that you are proactively prepared to administer or address each event timely. We have made the assumption that the calendar year and your Practice's fiscal year run concurrently. But you can take any listed activity below, place it in the month that you need to begin the activity, so that you have enough planned lead time to get the event executed successfully according to your own schedule. Not all activities may pertain to your Practice (some depend on the number of employees working for you) and the list is comprehensive but not all inclusive - it is meant to get you thinking about Human Resources related activities and functions for the upcoming year.
