Package Description

This session will describe how to animate organizational values and create alignment behind them to foster a self-governing culture of compliance. We will make the case for inspiring employees through purpose to act as individual leaders around compliance, infection prevention, and safety. You will see how this is different and more effective than attempting to motivate people through performance-based rewards and expectations. You will learn how this approach supports a compliance culture that will, minimally, pivot your posture to one of proactive risk mitigation rather than being constrained to react to incidents. Importantly, you will see how this creates strategic differentiation for your business. We will focus on how to deploy this program to optimize infection prevention and safety in the dental practice and minimize adverse events.
