STEPS Forward Pearl of the Week

One way to bolster your organization’s culture is through a team compact, a written document detailing how team members should treat each other. Everyone in your practice should contribute to developing this document and vote for the final version.

The process of drafting a compact focuses the team on the practice’s core values and strengthens team culture. Review and update the compact annually to involve new team members in the process.
