One of the more challenging aspects of directing or owning a company is finding the balance between employee accountability and employee freedom. In this industry, most therapists are accustomed to and seek out positions that allow them to set their own schedule of providing therapy services. The challenge lies in allowing therapists the freedom of doing so while ensuring that all clients receive the correct treatment services that they need and in a timely manner. This is crucial to your business because, obviously, your company won’t receive payment on services not rendered.
In this webinar, the deTASO team presents you with a possible solution to those challenges. Part of the heart of the deTASO team is consulting our clients on how to better manage their business. This webinar falls into that category. The deTASO team explores a hybrid pay model that allows therapists to determine their own salary and time off. Then the admin team determines how may treatment hours each therapist would have to provide in order to achieve their desired salary. This may seem like a risky proposition but with proper management and consulting, it has proven to be successful.
Once each therapist has a determined number of hours of service to provide, deTASO software helps the admin team keep up with each therapist’s efficiency. deTASO comes standard with built-in reports that pulls each therapist’s actual work done compared to expected work done. As the deTASO team refers to in the webinar, using this report will allow you as an administrator to either consult with underperforming therapists and reevaluate their workload OR offer a bonus program to over-performing therapists. We know that some owners and admin staff fear a bonus program, but we have seen great results with clients who have implemented this.
Please note that this pay program is simply a suggested way to incentivize therapists. It is presented on a “take it or leave it” basis. If you watch this webinar and decide you want to explore the possibility of incentivizing your team in this manner, please reach out to us and we can discuss further.
