Recruitment and Retention 1 article

Recruitment and Retention looks at how dental practices and organisations attract suitable team members and create conditions that make them willing to stay. Vacancies, clinician turnover, onboarding, career progression, workplace culture, flexibility and remuneration can affect team stability and service capacity, with rural or hard-to-staff settings facing additional pressures. The category deals with organisational hiring and retention strategy rather than the national supply of dental professionals, although wider workforce shortages can shape local recruitment.
