What is the #1 problem in optometric offices?
STAFF!!
![Page 6: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How do I motivate my staff?
![Page 7: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Bonus systems
• Do they work?• Spiff (ex. $5 for every AR coat sold)?• Team bonuses?
– Growth?
![Page 8: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
3 C’s to staff motivation* (Cash ain’t one of ‘em!)
• Collaboration-Must work together as a team
• Team meetings and team projects
• Content -Products and service are worthwhile and important…
• Choice-Autonomy in the “how.” Respect.
*Punished By Rewards: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A's, Praise, and Other Bribes by Alfie Kohn
![Page 9: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The 3rd “C” = Choice (autonomy)
• A fixed dollar amount for “patient recovery”
• Patient recovery = $ spent to fix a problem and make a patient happy– Track, you will be surprised
• Staff should have the ability to fix a problem on the spot
![Page 10: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Punished By Rewards: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A's,
Praise, and Other Bribes by Alfie Kohn
• Get rid of bonuses and recognition awards• Get rid of employee evaluations: observe and
communicate on an on-going basis• Respect, pay a good base wage

Laurie's synopsis
Pay well, pay fair…….then
quit talking about compensation
![Page 12: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How do I make my staff productive?
![Page 13: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
First, does your staff know your vision?
• Do you have open book management?
![Page 14: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Accumulate
• How can you improve if you do not know where you are?
– If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.– If you track it, it almost ALWAYS improves!
![Page 15: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Staff meetings
• Use all team members to manage by statistics– 1. Designate key statistics
![Page 16: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SMART test
• S – specific• M – measurable• A – achievable• R - realistic• T – time table
![Page 17: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Key statistics
• Gross sales• Receipts• Total pts – new vs. established• Revenue per patient• Production booked – do this!• Contact lens pts• Eyewear sales• Multiple pairs• Recalls – attempts and success• LVC consults, booked, performed• Telephone shopper conversion
![Page 18: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Compare #s to last year
• Other stats:– Annual CL supplies– Multiple pair sales– Molded lenses– Izon lenses– Optomaps and optomap %– Optical sales/# of pairs of lenses
![Page 19: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Set objectives
• Start with a yearly objective and work backwards
• Set monthly goals, then weekly• Set doctor day goals
![Page 20: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Report
• Weekly and monthly• Do MTD and YTD• Compare to last year!• Share Expenses information
![Page 21: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Affecting your bottom line
• Increase productivity (see more patients)• Increase $ per patient• Decrease expenses
![Page 22: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Increase productivity
• See more patients– Delegation– Scheduling– Optos?
![Page 23: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Efficiency
• Analyze and improve schedule– Consider taking a longer lunch and "bunching"
your patients in the morning and evening.– Analyze at weekly business meeting.
![Page 24: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Efficiencies to consider even when first starting out
• Maximize instrumentation and delegation– Delegate most testing– Delegate contact lens insertion – Delegate insertion and removal training– Delegate case history – you can review and add additional
comments– Staff needs to know how long preliminary testing should
take. Keep clock facing staff.
![Page 25: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Pagers & lighting systems
• Lighting systems– Can notify– Can inform where doctor is– Info what room is available
• Pager systems– Can notify– Alpha-numeric can send all info– Hand-off
![Page 26: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Inexpensive option
• Doorbell! – Can notify staff or notify doctor
![Page 27: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Optos can increase efficiency
But MUST have high acceptance rate
Staff following “the procedure” is crucial
![Page 28: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Should I get an Optos?
• Quick and dirty answer:– If you are doing 200 compr. exams a month, it is a
NO BRAINER….
• Otherwise: – Estimate by taking # of complete exams x 70%
(acceptance rate) x $ per optomap. – See if it makes sense in your practice
![Page 29: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Worst number in business?
One!- Duplicate positions OR
- Duplicate tasks- Cross train positions or cross train tasks
NO TASK SHOULD ONLY BE ABLE to BE DONE by ONE PERSON!
![Page 32: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

The dreaded “It’s not my job!”
• Functional can cause overall functions of business to be overlooked or duplicated.
• Matrix defines who coordinated overall functions
![Page 38: Welcome. Developing A World Class Staff Laurie L. Sorrenson, O.D., F.A.A.O. Austin, Texas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e045503460f94aeffbb/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

• #1 way of stealing?– Cash from deposits
• Count cash morning and night with signature.• Two people sign off on deposit• Only the owner opens the bank statement and credit
card statements. • Be wary of the "perfect" employee. (stays late,
always takes deposits, never takes time off)

Employee theft
• Surveillance software (30-40% of lost productivity due to internet surfing)*
• Surveillance camera (audio)• All employee's purchases (even if samples or
trial lenses) are written and given to CEO (you!)
• Look at family and friend transactions
