Now is a great time to meet with your team and revisit 2011. You can do this during your team huddle, but it’s good to spend some extra time with your team to discuss how 2011 turned out and discuss your 2012 practice goals.
Don’t forget to mention not only internal financial practice goals that were met, but also any perks and improvements that occurred internally. Allow them time to reflect on everything that happened in 2011 so they can gear up for the current year!
Focus on related items below as they pertain to your office:
- Started company retirement plan
