Moving fast to hire new Physical Therapists alone isn’t going to cut it in 2024. You’ve got to be competitive. Sure, in 2023, speed to hire was a large component to the hiring game. But in 2024, PTs have options. A plethora of options. And having options means multiple offers. Every. Single. Time. Having multiple options also means the likelihood of a clinician moving only for a job or excessively commuting for a job is slim. Unless… there’s a reason. Clinics, Facilities & Organizations who are able to win the talent war are competitive. Competitive in their pay, benefits, schedule, mentorship programs, patient caseload etc. Plus, possessing a great culture is also a make or break. You don’t necessarily need to win 100% of the above items, but you certainly can’t afford to be at the bottom of every single category. In 2024, if your ducks aren’t in a row and you aren’t on your “hiring A game”, your competition will be. 

Help! 𝐌𝐲 𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠! Want to keep your physical therapists happy and prevent them from leaving for other clinics? Retention is definitely a problem right now, but I have your back. These are some tips and honestly, you've probably heard them before. But it's not WHAT you know. It's how well you EXECUTE! ✅ Offer competitive salary packages: Make sure that your physical therapy clinicians have an attractive and competitive salary for your area. This will help ensure you remain competitive with other local clinics. ▶️ (If this is a problem for you, contact me right away to help increase your revenue.) ✅ Support continuous learning: Invest in their professional growth by providing them with regular education and training opportunities, as well as resources they can use to stay up-to-date on new techniques and treatments. ✅ Appreciate their work: Show your appreciation for their hard work—acknowledge successes, recognize achievements publicly. ▶️ Try creating a "Kudos" program where they are acknowledged for their excellent patient care, or for being a team player. ✅ Show them the greenbacks: Let's be frank- money talks. Give them bonuses for patients who request them, or if they meet their productivity goals, or even based on clinic profitability. ▶️ Help them to understand that they win when the clinic wins. It's time to EXECUTE. But really do it. I mean really! Not tomorrow. If you need more revenue coming into your clinic to pay for all of this- then let's talk.

"How long have your team members been employed here?" Question #4. This can be a touchy one... 😬 But I'd ask it. Here's why. If I'm walking in to a new position as a physical therapist, much of my success depends on the other team members I'm working with. I'd want at least one other experienced clinician in the same clinic (5 or more years experience). Maybe we don't work in the same location - but someone I can discuss more difficult cases with would be ideal. I'd want a PTA who was experienced. Why? If I'm stepping into a new role AND training a newer PTA - awareness of that work seems crucial. I'd look for a receptionist and biller who knew the ins and outs of the practice. Someone I could rely on to handle the respective areas - make sure patients are taken care of - so I could better focus on my role in the clinic. If there's team turnover, I'd follow-up with what's the reason. If the practice is growing, that might be a logical reason for an influx of newer team members. This seems to be a fair question to assess what you're walking in to...hopefully it's a team with some reliability and established level of competency. ✅ Be sure to ask this next time you're interviewing for a DPT position. Next time, I'll begin to cover the 3 questions you should ask about marketing.

How do you make $200K as a PT owner? Hire 4-5 therapists (not including you), each generating between 200K - 250K per year. Make sure your overhead and salaries stay under 80%. 20% of 1M = 200K Who is making at least 20% profit in their practice? Here's a tip that can help you achieve it. Do you have a tip to share?

Here are the top 3 questions we recommend recently graduated physical therapists ask during the interview process: 1. What is the mission and vision of the clinic? ie. Does the practice owner eventually want to sell? Grow to more locations? Specialize? Be sure to get SPECIFIC answers; don't settle for generalities. 2. Financial transparency is super important! What's practice revenue per clinic? payor mix? average reimbursement? Don't feel intimated to ask. . .your earning potential is attached to the clinic's financial health. 3. Real success stories represent culture. Don't let the practice owner just say "we got great culture." Find recent 'alumni' who worked at the clinic before and talk to them. Good or bad, what was their recent experience? #physicaltherapy #PT #PTjobs
