10 Steps To On-Boarding

Now that we have hired our awesome new Chiropractic Assistant (You), here is our 10-step process for on-boarding. This step should not be confused with training, as this is a separate and just as important process for the success of your practice. Note, the steps in this process do not need to be chronological, but instead simply complete all steps in order to be fully on-board.

STEP 1: Complete Your Team Member File

Be sure to assist in creating a personal and confidential employee file where these documents will live securely locked up.

Documents to download, complete, sign & file the first week:

• Employee Handbook

NOTICE There are several ROLE examples for Chiropractic assistants including Check-In/Check-Out and Tech Ca’s within the Black Belt CA Academy.

STEP 6: Experience The Office Tour
