title: Marketing the oral and maxillofacial surgery practice through positive employee relations.
abstract: This article is about marketing. Having superlative acumen on employee relations is much more important to all oral and maxillofacial surgeons than "how to take a referring doc to lunch." Keep a copy of this article handy and distribute it to all new employees. Review the hiring and firing tenets and "Rules of the Game" each time you hire a new employee, fire an established one, or face trying times with staff or partners.
