Practice staffing, training and HR systems
Staff in an optometry practice are hired to fill a gap, trained by whoever is free and paid on a structure nobody has revisited, so roles take shape by accident. ORC assesses staffing structure and develops role expectations, onboarding plans, training and performance measures. It advises on hiring priorities, compensation, incentives and retention. Employment law, payroll, benefits and formal HR administration are handled by appropriate specialists.
