Episode Synopsis
🎙️ Inspired Hygiene Podcast | From Paycheck to Partnership: Evolving the Hygiene Compensation Model
Welcome back to the Inspired Hygiene Podcast! I'm your host, Rachel Wall—RDH and founder of Inspired Hygiene. In this powerful episode, I'm joined by long-time friend and lead coach Emme Sanders to dive deep into one of the hottest and most impactful topics in dentistry today: the shift from hourly paycheck to performance-based partnership in dental hygiene.
💡 We explore:
Why traditional hygiene pay models are no longer sustainable
What a performance-based model really looks like
How to create a triple win for the patient, provider, and practice
Real-world success from a legacy practice that made the transition
Common pitfalls—and how to avoid them
The critical role of clear communication in successful change
Why this model enhances value, patient care, and professional longevity
PLUS: Emme shares behind-the-scenes insights from one of her most challenging (and rewarding) consulting projects yet—and how they helped hygienists make more while serving patients better.
