Should we be giving raises?  How often?  And how much?  In Part 3 of the series, we dive into all your questions.

From our annual State of Pelvic Rehab survey, we found the following:

• 41% of employees did not get a raise last year
• 34% received a raise between 0-3%

So, what should we do as business owners about raises?  We believe (and teach) they should be RTF - Regular, Transparent and Fair.

Regular - We believe in an annual raise for your clinicians.  If you were an employee and didn't receive one, it was likely frustrating and a negative experience.  Importantly, we only discuss these at our annual review.  This means we aren't talking about it the other 364 days each year!

Transparent - Your people should know how it's done!  We start this conversation in our interviews, and then in our onboarding, 3-month and 6-month reviews.  There are no surprises.

Fair - We have the annual raise be a combination of cost-of-living increase (which everyone gets) and a performance-based raise.  Especially as your team grows, you want to make sure these raises are fair to each team member.

Remember, the 'raise' can include extra benefits you're giving that year as well!  Paid time off, 401k, health stipend, etc.!

We hope this 'sode eliminates some of the uncertainty when it comes time for an annual performance review and raise!

Accelerator - January Cohort!
