Berlin, January 10, 2024 – The shortage of medical specialists is threatening more and more medical and dental practices across Germany. Smart human resources management is more important than ever in order to survive in the competition. But management and leadership knowledge is still too rarely taught in medical training. Accordingly, the know-how in the management levels of practices and medical care centers is often incomplete. The new reference work “Personnel management in medical and dental practices from A to Z” is intended to provide support here.
As a compact guide for practice owners and their managers, the specialist book by Kirsten and Stephan F. Kock, published in December 2023, explains the most important and most popular terms in human resources management. Enriched with tried-and-tested work templates, sample examples and checklists, the reference work is designed as a helpful everyday companion for managers and team leaders in medical and dental practices.
Compact knowledge for human resources management in everyday practice
The authors, Kirsten and Stephan F. Kock, as experienced experts in practice and personnel consulting, have identified a clear need: “Human resource management is now more than ever a success-relevant factor for medical and dental practices,” says Stephan F. Kock, co-owner and managing director of the practice consultancy Kock + Voeste GmbH.
“In numerous consultations and support for practices, it became clear that in many cases there is a lack of knowledge and structures and how significant a change can be. Those receiving advice point out time and time again that there is no easy-to-use manual for their specific situation that provides brief and concise information and describes procedures that have proven to be successful.”
In order to fill this gap and offer practical support, the Kock couple have now published their many years of experience in a reference work suitable for everyday use with the help of Springer Gabler-Verlag.
Work templates, sample examples and checklists – also available for digital download
From A for “warning” to Z for “target agreement discussion”: The reference work explains 144 technical terms from human resources management and offers managers helpful work templates for daily human resources work in practice.
Whether guidelines for various conversation or leadership situations, templates for recruiting processes and contract designs or reflection questions on team development and corporate culture: methods and terminology of human resources management are explained and sample examples are given in numerous diagrams, tables and text examples. All templates and working documents are linked in the book and are available to download for direct use on SpringerLink.
