As a practice owner, you’ve probably had days where you feel like a human ping-pong ball. One minute you're answering client emails, the next you're knee (or thigh) deep in the weeds with staffing issues, and then it's off to the races with financial planning or “visioning” (trying to, at least, because you hardly have time to sit still and think/plan/dream/feel about the future.

Retention 101: Effective Strategies for Keeping Your Best Team Members

It’s a typical Tuesday morning. You’re sitting at your desk or on your comfy couch, typing away at your computer (because lawd knows you've got about 1000 emails to catch up on), and you hear someone knock on your door. You look up and see one of you best employees, let’s call her Jane, walk into your office with a sheet of paper. She sets it on your desk and drops the bombshell.
