The job landscape in the U.S. dental industry has been anything but predictable since the Covid-19 pandemic. Initially, we saw an economic shutdown leading to massive layoffs worldwide, propelling U.S. unemployment to a record-breaking 15% in April 2020. However, 2021 turned the tables with a new trend – the ‘Great Resignation,’ where dental professionals started leaving their jobs voluntarily.
Why Are People Quitting Their Jobs?
During the difficult times of 2020, most dental professionals held onto job security, putting personal satisfaction on the back burner. But as vaccines rolled out and dental practices started reopening, many realized they desired more than just job stability and decided to quit. This mass departure of dental professionals can be challenging for dental practices to handle, and that’s exactly where Edge steps in.
The High Cost of Dental Staff Turnover
When a dental professional leaves, it can cost a practice significantly. Hiring and training a new person is time-consuming and expensive. The existing team, already under stress, has to cover for the departed colleague, leading to overworked staff and a potential decline in patient care quality.
