Virtual Tough Training – Compensation & the Model – February ’23 – VIDEO
People behave the way they are paid. Compensation is the #1 cost in Hospice—and it influences how virtually EVERYTHING gets done. In this Tough Training, Andrew shows how an Accountability-based COMPENSATION SYSTEM creates FOCUS, improves Productivity and Documentation, brings people closer to revenue, and turns every paycheck into a report card. The goal is not simply to pay differently. It is to create owners—not renters—who have enough Confidence to bet on themselves and the organization.
Average Compensation methods produce average results. Andrew explains how to get past the Fear Barrier, establish clear Standards, use Individual Pay and Net Patient Revenue measures, pilot with a WINNER, and build a fair System that rewards Talent while smoking out complacency and low Confidence. Less People Paid Well is the Formula!
