Dental Team Burnout Checklist

A one-page checklist for catching and addressing team burnout. Section A lists early warning signs such as more absences, frequent conflicts, and low energy in huddles. Section B sets up weekly check-ins with a mood question and a review of frustrations and wins. Section C covers system resets like simplifying redundant tasks and adjusting production expectations, and Section D lists culture steps such as encouraging PTO and rotating roles.

Office managers can run through it monthly, or sooner when the team seems strained. Share the results with the doctor and sign off together so any changes to workload or goals are agreed on.
