Inductions, appraisals and personal development plans

Inductions, appraisals and personal development plans should all be implemented in dental practices. This article discusses each of these processes, and explains why they should be carried out

As in all workplaces, inductions and appraisals take place in dental practices. An induction given to a new employee ensures that he/she is aware of all the policies and procedures that are in place, and can work alongside the rest of the dental team. An appraisal can take place after several months or on a yearly basis. This allows the team member to give feedback on his/her performance, and provides an opportunity to discuss any issues that may have arisen while working at the practice. A personal development plan (PDP) should be put in place to action any points raised at the appraisal, and should be reviewed at each appraisal.
