Many medical practices embark on a large office construction project sooner or later. When they do, the medical practice staff often finds itself up to its eyeballs in dust, debris, and confusion. This article suggests practical strategies for the medical practice staff to help employees cope with the inevitable challenges before, during, and after an office construction project. It suggests a strategy for a staff kick-off meeting and for establishing staff to-do lists throughout the project. It offers 10 practical staff strategies before the project begins including doing preparatory work with patients and neighbors and establishing a chain of communication. The article also offers tips for ensuring safety during office construction and ways to use a construction project as a springboard for goodwill-building and practice-marketing activities. Finally, this article offers advice about maintaining the daily schedule of the practice during a large-scale office construction project. |
