As a dental professional, you’re so much more than a trusted medical provider. You’re an entrepreneur, project manager, recruiter, and budgetary expert, too. But, wearing all of these hats at the same time can take your attention away from your true passion–caring for your patients. With a virtual office administrator, however, you can finally focus on your patients and dental practice growth. 

At Dental Practice Enhancement, we can help you run your practice like a well-oiled machine. Stop being a jack of all trades, and let us be the master of all of your administrative needs. If you’re ready to streamline your practice, then give our team of professionals a call at (833) DPE-FOR-U or reach us online here.

If you’re still on the fence about virtual office administrators, then keep reading. In this post, we give you three practice-enhancing benefits of outsourcing your dental office assistance.

1. Reduce Overhead Costs by Conserving Energy and Water

The cost of running a successful dental practice can quickly add up. And, when the bills start rolling in, you might notice that water and electricity consumption significantly contribute to your overhead.

When you hire virtual office administrators, you’re limiting the amount of water- and energy-consuming people in your office. So, rather than you shouldering all of the costs of energy and plumbing, your virtual employees share some of the load. As a result, you save more money while also transitioning to an eco-friendly dental facility.

2. Save Time and Money on New Hires

Searching for qualified applicants for your administrative team isn’t easy. You’re hoping for people with experience, but, more often than not, you end up having to train new hires anyway. Subsequently, you spend time that you don’t have to spare on getting new hires up to speed.

But, not only does hiring and training a new employee cost you time, it costs you money, too. In fact, data suggest that hiring a new team member could run you about $4,000. With a virtual office administrator, however, you greatly reduce the amount of time and money you need to add members to your dental team.

3. Increase Employee Productivity, Happiness, and Retention

The COVID-19 pandemic transformed the way we view office jobs. Indeed, society has largely come to accept that many administrative positions can satisfactorily be done from the comfort of employees’ homes.

While it may be easy to assume that employee productivity will plummet outside of the office, research suggests something to the contrary. One study conducted by the Quarterly Journal of Economics indicates that work-from-home jobs can increase productivity by up to 13%.

But, virtual office administrators don’t just increase your practice’s productivity–they also help you avoid stressing your employees. This is because work-from-home employees:

• Have more freedom during the day
• Save time and money commuting to and from work
• Establish a better work-life balance

The ease and comfort of working from home could help you retain your employees long-term. In fact, data suggest that virtual office employees may reduce quit rates by up to 50%.
