You wouldn’t ever operate as a doctor without malpractice insurance, but countless medical practices — especially smaller private practices — operate without a dedicated human resources team. It’s just as risky. 

An HR department may seem like a luxury to some smaller medical practices, but going without one can be expensive. People are your most valuable resource, but effectively managing them is a time-consuming and sometimes difficult task.

You have heard about human resources software but may not realize how much it can help your practice. Everyone uses some sort of software to help with their workflow, but HR software does more than that.

Working in health care is challenging, especially amid a pandemic. Caring for your patients’ needs takes top priority, which doesn’t leave a lot of time for self-care. That’s why paid time off is so important — it’s an opportunity to relax, recharge, and reconnect with loved ones.
