Let’s be straight up – with thousands of dental practices in Australia, not all are going to have great people, awesome culture and positive working environments.
That’s why we’re here. The Virago Group is changing things by putting dental practices under the microscope (for a change) for the sole reason of letting you know who the best employers are – and whether they deserve you.
With our understanding of the landscape of the Australian dental industry, we are uniquely placed to support you in your search for a positive and rewarding workplace.
You deserve the right boss
Over 70% of dentists are male. However, women make up the majority of dental hygienists and oral health therapists. The majority of dental support staff are also women. This can lend itself to a gender power imbalance.
Some dental practices also don’t have formal procedures or processes in place, meaning decisions are often rushed with potentially unfair outcomes for an individual.
All sound too familiar? Well, it’s time for a change. We’re putting dental practices under the microscope so you know straight up who the best employers are.
We share these results with you and we listen, support and encourage you to find the boss you deserve.
You deserve the right culture
Dentists are unique organisations with “flat” structures which can lend itself to bullying and harassment in the workplace as employees jostle for natural leadership positions.
Tired of all the drama? We ask practice managers about their office culture so we can ascertain whether it’s the place to be – or not.
If you are going to turn up every day, it better be worth it.
Work for an Approved Employer
Our “Approved Employer” status is a 10-point checklist which pre-screens employers to see where they stand on important issues such as culture, flexible working and a range of other criteria.
Not all dentists deserve our “Approved Employer” status and if that’s the case, we’ll let you know.
