Are You Satisfied?
Featured Products Promotional FeaturesPosted by: Dental Design 3rd May 2022
In recent years, job satisfaction has become a focus for many people and the pandemic has cause many to evaluate their job roles even more so – in the first quarter of the pandemic, 6.1% of people changed occupation compared with 5.7% in the same period the previous year.[i] Job satisfaction can be measured by looking at labour market behaviour such as productivity, resignation rate, absenteeism, and job performance. A person’s level of job satisfaction has also been linked to their personal well-being.[ii]
The Effects of Low Job Satisfaction
If you were to speculate about the impact low job satisfaction can have on an individual you’d likely presume someone in this state would appear stressed and unhappy. However, low job satisfaction could have more of an impact on your health than you might anticipate. A longitudinal survey which started in 1979 tracked the satisfaction and health of workers – it revealed that those with lower satisfaction had worse overall health, more back pain, and more sickness compared to those who felt satisfied at work.[iii] The research also found that disparities in mental health were greater in those who were less satisfied at work and they were more likely to experience depression, trouble sleeping, excessive worry, and emotional trouble.
What Can You Do?
You may be reading this and realising that recently you haven’t been as productive at work as when you first started, for instance, and maybe you’ve had a lot of time off related to your mental health. If this sounds like you the great thing is you have the option to make a change when you join Colosseum Dental UK – a dental provider who understands that dentists are the cornerstones of the practice with their skill and professionalism making the organisation what it is today.
What’s in it For You?
Of course, moving to a new practice can be very overwhelming and although you may not be completely satisfied in your current practice it doesn’t mean making the change will be easy, especially when you have financial responsibilities and family too. However, at Colosseum Dental UK you will be provided with everything you could need to ensure that you’re not only satisfied in your role but will continue to be throughout your career.
In fact, we have made seven promises to dentists to ensure that the patients you see receive the best standard of care possible, especially because Colosseum Dental UK know that looking after you will positively impact your patients’ experience.
Promises to you:
- A market-leading package
- Flexible UDA contracts
- 50% private and labs
- Full or part-time working hours – flexible arrangements available depending on the practice
- Tailored training and development to meet your long-term career aspirations
- Excellent working facilities with modern equipment
- State of the art technology including intraoral scanners
As mentioned, Colosseum Dental UK also wants to ensure that the dentists working in our practices continue to be satisfied in their roles and sometimes that means receiving the developmental training you desire. You might want to move into a specialism, and Colosseum Dental UK fosters an environment that promotes training, developing, empowering, and rewarding you. So much so that we opened the Colosseum Academy, based in Norway, in 2019. Once again, the Colosseum Dental Group has ensured that we meet the needs of their colleagues as much as possible and that’s why we have online and on-site courses available for you to choose from.
It doesn’t stop there either, we understand that working the standard hours of a dentist may not suit your lifestyle and that’s why we offer incredibly flexible hours. Our practices are open at times that suit our patients’ needs but that means you can choose to work a schedule that suits you – whether it’s every other weekend off or staggered hours, we’ll aim to support you so you can manage your professional and personal life with ease. Let’s not forget the added benefit of market-leading UDA rates when you join one of our practices.
Overall, we want those who work with us to genuinely smile when they’re at work. That’s why we’ve gone above and beyond to ensure that the dentists who treat patients in our practices are happy and fulfilled, especially so you can provide your patients with the highest standard of care possible.
