Human Resources Manual
Convenience
Memorize this 5-word sentence and use it for employee questions: “Go look in the manual”. With our manual in place, you know the answer is there; you know the answer is correct; and by doing so, you are being consistent with every employee.
Policy Manual
To be successful, you must effectively communicate your expectations while being in compliance with employment regulations, both state and federal. A comprehensive, up-to-date employee policy manual represents an effective form of written communication. Dental Direction is proud to partner with Bent Ericksen and Associates, leading authority in employment compliance and human resources for over 40 years.
​
We make that process painless: our certified Personalization Specialists will guide you through the onboarding process for your employee manual. All you do is review the drafts and provide us with feedback. You have full access to your personnel policy manual in the HR Director system online. You can make future edits yourself with our oversight anytime you wish.
Job Descriptions
One of the most under appreciated tools in HR compliance is the job description. It’s important to communicate performance expectations on a position-specific level. With our comprehensive, position-specific job descriptions, that are Americans with Disabilities Act compliant, as a starting point, you can easily customize and individualize each employee’s job description, articulate essential duties, behavior requirements, soft skills, education, physical demands, environmental conditions, and more.
​
Then, your job descriptions become an effective tool for supporting the hiring process and managing performance on an ongoing basis, all the while protecting you and your practice.
Personnel Forms
Covering your bases, dotting i’s, crossing t’s, and setting clear expectations all require paperwork. We provide over 50 forms to cover the full employee lifecycle, from hiring to firing, so you don’t have to re-invent the wheel. Setting up an employee file is straightforward with our New Hire Packet and easy-to-navigate interface.
Compliance Updates
HR should be a living breathing part of your business, not something that collects dust on a shelf. We don’t just give you a policy manual and say good luck. We have your back. Employment compliance and regulatory requirements change and the status quo evolves; your materials should keep pace.
State or federal, if it affects your business, we keep you current. We draft the new language, send you alerts, and the updates are electronically placed in your manual.
HR Specialists
Regulations are confusing. Should that continuing education event be paid? Can you fire a difficult employee in a protected class? What is required for your pregnant employee? Any HR question, any topic, we have the experts to answer them. We’ve heard it all, so ask away and let us guide you to a solution.
​
​Preventing HR-related problems is our #1 goal, so don’t hesitate to reach out at the first sign of trouble. Phone time is included with every HR Director purchase and the ongoing Annual Support.
