In this episode, Mike Dinsio, MBA and Paula Quinn, BSDH sit down with Jill Hasselman to expose the silent killers in dental ownership. If you are afraid to correct staff or rely too much on an outdated and generic employee handbook, you are exposing yourself to risk. This episode breaks down the exact dental practice operations needed to protect your license, fire toxic staff safely, and finally sleep at night. Stop being held hostage and avoid toxic situations. And why the \"Document or Didn't Happen\" strategy prevents lawsuits from sinking your practice. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN • Why \"borrowing\" a colleague's handbook is actually legal suicide for your practice. • The psychological \"Popup\" trick that stops employee tardiness immediately. • Why fighting unemployment claims often triggers expensive wage and hour lawsuits. • How to document performance issues without being a \"jerk.\" • The \"Document or Die\" framework: Why if it isn't written down, it didn't happen. • Understanding the massive gap in EPLI insurance that leaves most dentists exposed. PERFECT FOR: Dental practice owners feeling held hostage by their staff, dental startup doctors establishing culture, and anyone seeking dental entrepreneur advice on navigating labor laws and dental teams . SPECIAL GUEST Special Guest on Today’s Show: Jill Hasselman is the Chief Growth Officer for HR for Health. With nearly 12 years of experience protecting doctors, she specializes in customized HR compliance and software solutions specifically for the dental industry .
