Create a Training Binder for your new staff. Set your new team member up for success by preparing a three-ring binder with the resources they will need to become a successful CA for your practice. Print a copy of each for your new assistant:
Training
Use a training roadmap to onboard your new hire. Taking this stepwise approach to training staff builds skills, confidence, and avoids overwhelming your new team member.
​
This Flow is designed for you to cover one topic at a time with your new CA. When staff demonstrates an acceptable working knowledge, then move on to the next training topic. This builds knowledge and mastery in your new assistant and allows them to see what exciting new topics are coming up next!
