It is no secret that Dentistry is expensive.
Sudden dental emergencies are feared, costly and unwanted for most employees who pay for their dental treatment from discretionary income. Medical insurance covers only between $400 and up to $1000 of dental costs, depending on the provider. Co-payments due by the Insured ranges from between 40 to 20 percent of the total claim and wait periods before initial claims can be made, range from between 2 to 12 months, depending on the provider involved.
For once these facts may be exactly the silver lining to the dark clouds of the current competitive employment market, where it is difficult to onboard and retain good workers or employees and poaching of trained and qualified, existing employees has become all too real.
Shannon Barlow from Frog Recruitment calls the current employment market the most candidate-short market they have ever seen.
Likewise, the Department of Management at Auckland University of Technology’s, Jarrod Haar, who conducts regular surveys of worker intentions, recently reported that by November, 2021, a full 52 percent of Kiwis intended to quit their jobs for the following reasons:
• Employees not being paid enough, or being offered more money and benefits elsewhere
• Not liking the culture of an organisation; and
• Not being appreciated or encouraged enough by employers
To combat this sharp staff turnover, Haar recommends that bosses pay as much as they can afford, because the evidence is that good employers will keep their staff.
