  • 311 - Do I Want To Know Why They Are Calling Out
    Oct 23 2024
    A practice manager struggles with managing a PTO policy that leads to team members overusing their time off early in the year. In this episode of the Uncharted Podcast, Dr. Andy Roark and practice management super nerd, Stephanie Goss help a practice manager having a hard time balancing their team's use of paid time off (PTO). The manager explains that they simplified PTO, lumping sick days and vacation time together to give their staff more autonomy. However, it’s backfired, leaving them frustrated as team members are either taking too much time off or asking for guidance on whether they should come in sick. Andy and Stephanie offer practical advice on how to set clear guidelines while maintaining a positive culture, how to establish boundaries without micromanaging, and how to approach the situation without becoming the "PTO villain."

lots of lightbulb moments

As lots of other Uncharted episodes, this one made me realize the root of some previously vague issues I was dealing with on the road to the perfect (or close to it) life balance..

No soapbox?

I was really hoping Stephanie would talk more about her list of action steps! Also, would it be possible to link the Banfield study you mentioned?
