Practice owners must be able to make effective personnel and human resources decisions to ensure the success of their business.

This course equips rehabilitation professionals with the necessary knowledge to run a professional and profitable business. It explores elements such as personnel recruitment and hiring, onboarding processes, managing employee relations, implementing appropriate leave and termination policies and staff support and retention.
