The employees at Arkansas Family Dental have good reason to smile, between the company’s gapless benefits and its culture. And it’s easy to do with at-cost dental services provided to employees as one of several unique benefits offered.
AFD works to build a family-like environment among its staff. Personal touches, like birthdays celebrated with cakes, happy life events marked with celebration showers and compassionate care during difficult times ensure every employee feels valued both as a worker and individual.
Communication is key to the culture, officials say, so employees always know where they stand, with regular feedback, a transparent growth ladder and professional development opportunities anchoring the company’s retention strategy by encouraging employees to pursue long-term careers.
Employees are also urged to maintain a strong work-life balance, with paid-time off starting at 14 days in the first year and growing to 24 by their seventh, with rollover options for extra flexibility. Recognition, support and opportunity are key elements of AFD’s culture.
